Audi has revealed the redesigned two-door RS 5 Coupé, which now has an even sharper shape and a more commanding performance. It is equipped with a 4.2 FSI V8 engine, which generates 331 kW (450 hp) at 8,250 rpm. The 430 Nm (317.15 lb-ft) peak torque is available within a range from 4,000 rpm to 6,000 rpm.
The high-performance coupe, equipped with the normally aspirated, high-revving V8, accelerates to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) from a standstill in 4.5 seconds. The engine uses an average of 10.5 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers (22.40 US mpg), which is far less compared to its main rivals.
The new Audi RS 5 Coupé has an even more muscular and athletic road stance with the hood having a more sculpted appearance with sharper edges and the upper corners of the single-frame grille beveled. The most prominent features at the front part of the automobile are the new headlights in wedge form that uses xenon plus technology and comes with narrow LED strips for the daytime running lights. Audi has also redesigned the rear bumper and the taillights.
The interior has also been updated. Among the redesigned features are the leather-wrapped RS 5 multifunction sport steering wheel with the ring flattened at the bottom, the ignition key, redesigned controls, the steering column stalks and the buttons for Audi drive select and the knob of the gear selector lever. The MMI navigation plus comes as an option. The vehicle's interior is a study in black with carbon as standard inlays, with aluminum, piano finish or stainless steel mesh available as options.
Being part of the RS range from Audi, it comes as no surprise that the RS5 Coupé is equipped with the quattro permanent all-wheel drive. Its defining characteristic is the crown gear center differential which is both lightweight and compact. On a daily drive, the differential is able to distribute the power delivered to rear and front axle in a 60:40 ratio. Should the situation call for it, this same differential can allot 85% of the torque to the rear axle or as much as 70% of the torque to the axle in the front.
Making this crown-gear center differential more efficient is the fact that it works in conjunction with the vehicle's torque vectoring system with the two operating on all of its four wheels. During a dynamic drive for example, there is the possibility that the load on the wheels' inside could be lowered substantially. What the combination does is brake the wheel slightly so as to avoid slip.
Through this, the RS5 Coupé is able to continue being neutral no matter how long and even when at the handling limit. Though it does have a bit of an understeer especially when turning to corners, it can instantly compensate when the vehicle is accelerating. That said, there is the ESP stabilization program which steps in when needed and gently, though one can often feel that there is no need for it to be activated. An important feature in the RS5 Coupé is the seven-speed S tronic transmission fitted as standard. Through the long top gear and the fact that it is efficient, fuel economy is ensured.
This automatic dual-clutch transmission can be operated through the D and the S modes. For drivers who want to shift the transmission on their own, they can do so through the gear selector lever and even by using the paddles that have been placed on the steering wheel. The brand has included a launch control program which regulates how the clutch is engaged and puts it at the optimum engine speed needed to pull away. As a result, the power from the engine is transmitted to the road with less risk of a wheel slip.
In particular, this same transmission is composed of two sub-transmissions. Each of these sub-transmissions have clutches that trigger different gears. These direct shifts are made possible through the use of switching clutches and take barely less than a second. The shift is not only fast but is so smooth as well that it finishes the operation even before the driver realizes it. For the RS5 Coupé, the brand is offering a sport differential as a possible option.
By having two superposition stages, the power is distributed actively on the wheels in the rear. Whether the vehicle is going faster through a curve or simply going through one, much of the power goes to the outside wheels and this pushes the vehicle to the curve. It prevents the possibility of an understeer or oversteer from happening. Through the sport differential, the RS5 Coupé can drive as if it was on proverbial rails.

"Miracles are not contrary to nature,
but only contrary to what we know about nature."
Saint Augustine
The way I see it, the time leading up to the holiday Season a lot of what I understand as "spiritual Light" is being showered over us. The Light has a way of letting us see the aspects of our lives which are less than Light with the purpose, if we choose it, to heal and restore ourselves. Another word for spiritual Light is loving. Self-awareness is a great gift because it gives us the opportunity to make a fresh choice; to be more loving, forgiving and compassionate towards ourselves.
In past years, I have often felt on an emotional roller coaster during the Advent weeks. The pressures of Christmas preparation, the stresses of life generally seem to grow. And yet, on Christmas morning, I feel a burden has been lifted. There is a lightness and brightness and peace that soothes and restores me. It is almost as if I have been re-born into my own simplicity and newness.
Could it be that this Season is time for awakening to more of our loving? Loving is a two way track. It requires both giving - and receiving. Do you know people who are great givers, but find it hard to receive? Maybe you are one. It can be hard for a person who is used to being in the driving seat to learn to be vulnerable enough to be open to receive. Givers need receivers - and vice versa.
Generally, I have yet to meet one person who does not have some challenge, dilemma or condition to deal with in their lives, more especially this year perhaps. What if the predicaments we have can be viewed as "blessings in disguise". What if a difficulty we experience is an opportunity to receive assistance from someone who is able to give us what we need? What if these issues we have as humans enable us to better connect with each other? They are what make us human.
"Could a greater miracle take place than for us
to look through each other's eyes for an instant?"
Henry David Thoreau
In my experience, some of my greatest difficulties have produced my greatest resources. Like the time I was unable to communicate, to literally put words together to be heard and understood. I used to watch people talking to each other to find out how they did it. I became sensitive to how people make meaningful contact with one another.
The use of words and communication is now a great source of joy for me. My communication issue became a blessing in disguise, a cause for gratitude. I would like to say I have learned the lesson, but the truth is that I am still learning to be grateful for every little thing, including the difficulties, in my life. However, the more I do so, the more full I feel, and the easier life becomes.
It is that simple, though not necessarily easy. It is a question of habit. Getting into the habit of being grateful - I am finding more and more to be grateful for. Thinking of those times when I might allow my energy to drop down: Waiting in traffic, standing in line at the supermarket, being let down by someone who had promised me something, rejection by a friend I thought I could count on. Disappointments, self-doubts, feelings of failure, a bad mood - I can be grateful for those too. They are the wake up calls to loving myself, no matter what.
Those are the moments that call upon my spirit to rise up and look around for the goodness in my life. In traffic, be grateful that I have a car to drive. In the supermarket, be grateful that I am able to shop. Being let down, be grateful that I can be open to receive the resources I need from others. Rejection: be grateful that I can accept and appreciate myself.
"Where there is great love there are always miracles." Willa Cather
A former consultation client, who wanted to stop being a massage therapist and write a best-seller, asked some of his clients to support him financially in making the transition into his new writing career. He drew up an agreement so that each donor would receive a percentage of the profits from his anticipated book, not then knowing how exactly that would come about. It took courage to ask for the support he needed.
He was deeply touched, amazed and felt profoundly grateful at the generosity and trust demonstrated by people who were taking such a risk on his behalf. He went on to win an exceptional contract to write the book, which did become a number one bestseller. His supporters received an increase on their donations. However, his greatest feelings of gratitude were less towards winning the contract and much more towards those who had supported him in the first place.
So what does all of this have to do with awakening to the miracle of love during this Season? The parties and the presents - I enjoy all of those! But I also deeply appreciate the quieter aspect of these days. The time to reflect and be grateful - for all of the blessings that I have received in the past year. To get in touch with friends I do not see so often. To review the year in the light of blessings given and received.
May this Season bless you with peace, brightness and joy and the New Year bring you fulfilment and a greater sense than ever before of the blessing that you are.
"Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love. The real miracle is the love that inspires them. In this sense everything that comes from love is a miracle." Marie Lloyd

The last thing I remember, it was Thanksgiving. I can't believe that it's the end of April now. So much has happened since Thanksgiving, but it's almost like time stood still in my mind and we are still back at the end of November.
I feel like I've been through a whirlwind. Life was good and going along at a busy, yet predictable pace. We had a simple yet lovely Thanksgiving with my parents at their assisted living facility. I'm so thankful that we had this gathering. I'm so thankful to have memories of eating, talking and laughing with them, as it was the last happy family gathering I would have with my parents. We hugged and kissed and said our good-byes.
That weekend I decorated the whole house for Christmas except for the tree.
I'm so thankful that I got it all done and even packed away all of the storage boxes.
I went to work that Monday, November 28th and received a call that my Mamma was very, very ill and expected to die. Time seemed to have stopped at that moment.here to read the story).
Sometimes when life throws a curve ball (or two) I feel like I can't handle it, but I don't even know why I allow myself to think like that because the hard truth is, there is no choice about it. We all have to go through difficult times. I am writing this post to encourage others with life's difficulties and also to remind myself that, no I can't handle it on my own, but God can! God gave me strength. He held me up. His Word comforted me. He surrounded me with amazing people to help hold me up in prayer as well as support me in other ways. I am truly thankful and never want to forget God's blessings.
These are some of the things that happened since that somber day.
I was so worried about my Daddy. I had to see him, so my husband and I drove out to see Daddy to check on him. He was so very heartbroken. He just lost his other beautiful half. But the good news is that he was eating and the aids that work there told us he slept good. I'm so thankful for the sweet girls who work at his home, they love him and are almost like daughter's to him, so while it was very difficult to leave him, I knew he was in good hands. Also, the other residents have become family to him and there's always so much life and activity there.
After we left Daddy, we swung into a Christmas tree lot and bought our tree. I was so thankful that I had the house decorated before Mamma started to pass, it would have been so stressful if I hadn't even started or if I was right in the middle with boxes everywhere.
I am so thankful for the bereavement benefits my job offers, they gave me four paid days off. I didn't have to work the whole week, which was such a blessing. The next couple of days I pretty much just prayed, thought, cried and rested.
He worked 72 hours straight through the first three days of the storm. While he was not actually working directly on the power lines, he was doing very dangerous work with downed power lines and dangerous trees and limbs resting on power lines. I was so worried because he was so new at the job, but also that he was working non-stop and I was worried about him getting so fatigued. Not to mention he was working in terrible conditions with the freezing rain still coming down.
|Happier times at our Christmas party in 2013.
Anyway, Eric, Rachelle and I worked several hours and made a lot of progress cleaning up their place.
I was relieved that later that day when he called the dentist the dentist asked to see him and they got him on antibiotics.
For now though, I'm thankful for everything God brought us through. I'm thankful that He has comforted me through the loss of my beautiful mother. No matter what life brings, God is with me.
"Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; He will neither fail you nor abandon you." Deuteronomy 31:8

I wanted a car with some personality and a lot of speed. I'm 60+ years old so I didn't want a kids' sports car, but neither did I want an appliance. I love to drive, although my daily commute is pretty much flat and straight. I did a lot of online research and ultimately choose the VW GTI. I didn't test drive any other car, not even the 2015 Golf, which would have been a bit less money.
The GTI has not disappointed. It is fantastic as a daily driver, gets great mileage, is quick when I need it, terrific brakes. The interior is clean, superbly put together. Seats are great.
This car deserves all the fantastic car reviews and awards. It is by far the best car I've owned. I'm very happy with it, and am intending to keep it for many years.

4 Ways to Get Good Social Customer Service
Donna Gurnic is Market Development Coordinator here at CTS Service Solutions.
Social media has proven to be an effective tool to help consumers communicate with companies. We've seen a couple get a quick home loan approval and a man get his iPad back.
Unfortunately, the more widespread the use of social media for customer service becomes, the more it is misused by those who have forgotten the basics of being a good customer.
As social customers, we need a set of ground rules to guide us when we log on to get a company's attention online.
It Begins with a Service Failure
Many social customer service interactions begin when something goes wrong.
For instance, let's say your wireless Internet connection frequently drops off, and you call your cable company to report the problem. After two separate appointments with a technician and three phone calls to customer service, your Internet connection is still not fixed, and you can't afford to waste any more time.
The Crucial Moment
Before you hop onto Twitter, Yelp or Facebook, know that the decision to go public has many layers. In some cases, using social media first is the best option. In most cases however, using social media to communicate a customer service problem is a last resort.
If and when you decide to reach out via social media, you have some basic options:
- Tweet the company
- Post to the company's Facebook wall
- Blog about your experience
- Post a video to YouTube, Google Plus or another social channel
You want to choose the right channel to ensure your message does not get lost. Take a moment to survey the responsiveness of each of the company's social accounts. Do they respond to Tweets, Facebook posts or Google+ posts? Are they involved in community forums? Once you have decided, try to find the person or support team who can handle your issue directly.
4 Ways to Get Good Social Customer Service
Use these tips to help make your outreach through social media more effective:
1. Use Tact.
Venting, cursing or name-calling will not help you, and you risk being ignored. Instead, give the company something they can work with and stick to neutral comments. For example:
"Simply need my @AcmeCable modem replaced and a credit for repeated trouble"
"Cannot get a solution to my @AcmeCable Internet problem"
"@AcmeCable CustServ cannot resolve issue with faulty modem, please help"
2. Use Specifics.
Customer service representatives cannot read minds, so explain exactly what you need and when you need it by. If your situation is complicated, an email may be the proper channel to use. Keep it simple and leave no room for misinterpretation.
3. Be Fair.
Be conscious of your tone and approach toward the company. If they respond to your message and they are making an effort to fix your problem, give them a chance to make it right before escalating the issue further.
4. Be Careful.
This guideline is the most important because your online comments can follow you for a long time. If it's a popular site, it might make it to page 1 when someone Googles your name. A complaint against a company might be one of the first things a potential client or employer sees about you online. You should be careful what you say.
In customer service when conventional methods fail, social media can be your friend if you treat it with respect. Sometimes reaching out to a company through social media is your best option, so keep these tips in mind when you compose the message.
And by the way, if you succeed in using social media to get help from a company, thank them! Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Google+ are great places to express your gratitude for a job well done.

While the progression of our business has been heading in the vertical direction, we had a little hiccup over the past couple of weeks, when we decided to rebuild our website. We were hosting our last website through MYOB Atlas* (who awesomely offer a FREE website with optional e-commerce functionality for one year, plus a FREE com.au web address for two years) and, they were great, but just not really what we needed in terms of site accessibility and options, so, we decided to look for another website hosting company.
We proceeded with caution through the minefield of hundreds of website hosting companies… 'Do we just go with one of the big names, like Crazy Domains, or Go Daddy?' we asked ourselves. The discussion was involved, and lead to a couple of major points; we needed a specific type of website – one that allowed quite a few customisable options, not included in some hosting packages. The major concern that, in our eyes was not negotiable, was customer service; will they respond to emails? Will they be helpful when problems arise? Do they have good old fashion service?
After many hours on the Whirlpool forums (one of the best Aussie forums for info on telecommunications), we decided to take the word of other happy customers and go with Net Virtue* for our web hosting. Well, we are certainly glad we chose them, because they are terrific! I am not exaggerating here; they have the BEST customer service (via email – haven't had the need to call them yet) that I have ever experienced – ever! For example, I submitted a low-priority ticket (yes, you get to choose the priority level, depending on your need) and they responded within 3 minutes. Not only that, but they have 24 hour email support, and that is just as quick. We had plenty of questions when attempting to build our new site, and, even at 3am, they responded very quickly, with helpful, relevant replies. I very highly recommend these guys for business hosting, and I am not the only person singing their praises.
Oh, and just so you know, in no way have we been paid or compensated for writing this website hosting review, we just appreciate great service!

I have had many challenges being a mom — more than your average due to the fact that both of my children have mental health issues. I have battled the school system. I have navigated the complicated mental health systems maze. But NOTHING could have prepared me for the challenges of being a stepmom.
I thought I had it down. I have known my stepsons since they were 2 and 6. (They are now 11 and 14.) I had never had any incidents like I read about where the boys have said, "You're not my mom!" and refused to comply with any requests. I have always understood and respected that I was not their mom. The boys regularly visited with us every other weekend, a week at Winter break, 2 weeks in the summer and at various other family events. In fact, things were all hunky-dory until my youngest step son moved in with us at age 9.
At first we had a wonderful honeymoon period. He was happy to be with us and seemed to understand why he was no longer living with his mother, half-siblings, brother and stepdad. He had behavioral issues and mental health needs that his mom could not keep up with. He even knew that because she shared with him that she was unable to do things for him that he needed. He seemed to understand and accept that. OR SO WE THOUGHT.
In reality he decided that if he was "as bad as he could be" we would send him back to his mom. He had decided we had taken him from her and that even though she did not keep up good contact with him by calling or scheduling regular visits, (sometimes she's out of touch for weeks at a time), it was somehow our fault that she was not seeing him. Let me rephrase that last sentence. It was MY fault. I was "replacing" his mom and he wanted no part of it.
He tells us he completely understands how busy she is and that she cannot call him, and then he is angry and nasty towards me. We are dealing with this together, he and I, in therapy, and he is starting to explore his feelings towards his mother although he is still too young to understand how he is projecting those feelings onto me. Let me stress that we never say anything negative about his mom. In time he will figure things out for himself.
We have seen some progress, but not as much as we had anticipated. We have seen a lot of backslides, especially after he has extended contact with his mother. It is a lose-lose situation for everyone. He needs his mother. He loves her and he should see her and talk to her. She has her own issues that prevent her from being able to meet his needs and so the cycle continues. We certainly would never keep her from seeing him, but the inconsistent nature of her contact is doing more harm than good. When we do approach her, she will vow to do better, and she will try for a little while but can never keep it up — and we go right back to where we were.
So in addition to dealing with my stepson's anger and feelings towards me, I have to deal with my own feelings about his mother. This is a mom who clearly did not nurture her child. He did not form proper attachments as a baby and toddler and has been diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder. Then she sent him away and does not contact him often, yet when she does want to see him she demands it be on her terms because she is THE MOM! When my husband tries to explain his needs or direct her to the doctors, she claims she knows what he needs because she is the MOM, in case he forgot.
My stepson feels abandoned. Although he cannot say this, he only shows it by his self-defeating and destructive behavior. He feels unloved and unwanted and displays this by wetting himself and destroying property, lying and stealing. I am doing my best to understand why he behaves the way he does. We are working with doctors and therapists and everyone is on the same page. We implement consistent, clear consequences, although at times he simply does not care. He has told us he feels he deserves punishments and that he was sent to live here because his family hated him.
Each day I try to see as a new day. I know my anger at his mom sometimes gets in the way of how I feel about him, but I am doing my best to care for him and do the mom things just as I do for my own children.
About Emmie
I am a mom of two boys, ages 16 and 22, both with ADHD, bipolar disorder, anxiety and depression. I have remarried and my husband has 2 boys, ages 13 and 16. The 13 year old lives with us, and has some behavioral problems and attachment issues. There is always something happening at our house!

Asger Sams Granerud / Lautapelit, Danmark / Finland, 2016
Three or four years ago I received an email from a young Danish game designer who told me he has an idea for a game mechanic that fitted perfectly to a cycling race. He told me he had read my texts and that he was convinced he was on the right track. He sent me a sketch of his ideas, asked me my opinion about them, and asked me not to disclose them. I did not even mention them in the unpublished games section.
At the time he already had the game's name, which I though (and I still think) is a great name. It is hard to find a cycling-related name for a game that sounds good ans has not been used yet. (Check the alphabetical list of names and see if you can find a good one that has not been used yet).
When I read the rules I told him that they might turn into a good game. How could it be otherwise coming from someone that had studied my cycling game theory my texts? ;-) What I did not tell him is that I have received sketches of rules before, some of them also promising, some even by authors that have already published other games, and that, unfortunately, it is very hard to see cycling games commercially released.
So, I just waited for news but I did not hope much. At most I could expect a self-published release or a kickstarter attempt. Even when a couple of years later Asger wrote again to tell me that the game was going to be released, I thought it was going to be a modest edition, and I was not so surprised to learn that the release had been delayed (that was one year ago).
Finally the whole thing sped up. When I saw the first sketches of the graphic design, and I could read the definitive edition of the rules, I realized that this was much better than I had thought. When I finally received the boxed game, saw the games components, and played the game properly, I was amazed. Flamme Rouge may easily be the (cycling) game of the year. Did I say "of the year"? Maybe I meant "of the decade"!
Flamme Rouge is supposed to represent a one-day race though, since there is a small pack of just eight riders, the game is played in around 30-45 minutes, and the name of the game is that of the red flag displayed with one kilometer remaining from the finish line of a race, I prefer to think that the game represents the last, say, 20 or 30 kilometers of a classic race. If you consider it so the game turns out to be quite realistic!
Information about the game is easy to find: you can download the the English rules (and also the French ones) from the Lautapelit website and you can check all the comments and even download the first game variants on BoardGameGeek, so I will just add a few things here.
The game does not have a "board" but instead has 21 double sided track segments Marked by letters, small case on one side, capital letters on the other) which can be assembled in different ways to make your own stages. In the box are six possible configurations, but I expect many more to be created by fans. (Here is mine for a hilly stage: amcSqtRNBDHoIeGlkfju - the first I is a capital "i", the second is a small case "L").
The mechanics of the game are easy to learn. Each player manages a team of two riders, called Sprinteur and Rouleur, with different capabilities. Each rider has his own deck of cards (it can be considered a deck building game) from which they chose one. When all the players have chosen one card for each cyclist they reveal it simultaneously and move the riders accordingly. The simultaneous play solves (well, almost) the problem known as "analysis paralysis" (players taking too long to move their riders) and makes the game very dynamic.
The Rouleur and Sprinteur decks are different, though each players' decks are equivalent. Sprinteurs are quicker but Rouleurs are stronger, as can be expected: Sprinteurs will win in mostly flat stages while rouleurs have better chances in mountain stages. Players will manoeuver to have the worst rider work for the best in every situation. The drawback of each player having two different decks is that you have to reshuffle two ever-diminishing decks of discarded cards.
The strongest point of the game mechanics, IMHO, is the slipstreaming rule (combined with the exhaustion rule) which makes the pack stay together as a single group in most cases, at least while the road is flat and the riders are protected from the wind. Breaking away from such a pack is hard, though not impossible. A simple but effective rule for the climbs and descents causes the group to split when the road goes uphill and generally regroup on the descents. All in all, a very realisty "cycling feel" with a very simple set of rules. Clever!
It is interesting to mention is the winner rule, which combines first-past-the post and further-past-the-post rules in an unusual way. (Check the theory here in case you do not know what I am talking about, or just forget this last sentence). There are only five squares (a tile) past the finishing line. In the case (which does not happen often, but which MAY happen) of the riders having to move further than that, they just occupy those five squares, the winner being the one further away on the right side of the road. This rule, which does not make much sense in a normal game, is essential if you want to play the Grand Tour variant (more on variants below).
By the way, the flat stage (called "Avenue Corso Paseo") will probably be used the first time you play, as the climb and descent rules are easy to learn and good for the game, though of course you can add a flat stage to a stage race. The possibility of playing stage races is given as a print-and-play download (that is why I class this game in the one-day races section) but in fact you just download a table to keep track of the times and a rule that just says how the time is counted.
Other downloadable variants are the rules to move the teams if you are less than four players. You can use "hard" rules to make the robot teams stronger. And of course you can play solo against three robot teams.
I did not mention that the game is supposed to represent a race from 1932. Look at the realistic vintage-looking riders. Some players have complained that the two riders are too similar. It is true that it is better if you paint the cap of one of them. I personally complain that Sprinteur is the rider that looks like a climber, while Rouleur is the one that looks as a Sprinter.
Rouleur on the left, leading for Sprinteur
Another strong point of the game is the fantastic work of illustrator Ossi Hiekkala in giving this game its 1932 feel. If you are interested, he explains how was his work with this game in his blog.
There are two different editions of the game, the "international edition" with rules in English, French, German and Spanish (as I said above, translated by yours truly) and the "nordic countries edition", with rules in Suomi, Swedish, Danish and Norwegian. However, the contents of the box are the same except the rulebook, which can be downloaded anyway.
Since I have both boxes, I will investigate the possibility of making longer stages, using not only the road segments from both games, but only using twice as many cards for each rider. This is an idea I am having lately: that it is a good idea to have two copies of the games that have modular roads. You never know when you are going to want to play a really long stage.
By the way, I know I am being quite enthousiastic about this game, and this is not common in me. Well, these things happen. In cas you wonder, I am NOT involved in any way with the games' makers (though I translated the rules into Spanish). I did NOT know the game designer before, and in fact I can barely say I know him: I just met him at Essen 2016 and we did not have much time to talk since he was very busy demoing the game. Maybe next time ;-)
- - - - - - - -
UPDATE: There is a big excitation around this game, and there are are many ideas, variants, tuckboxes, etc, posted almost weekly in BGG's Flamme Rouge page. There we can find rules for solo play, a grand tour multi-stage race (both by Asger Sams Granerud hiimself), a mysteriious Team Time Trial card offered as a bonus somewhere, cobblestones, a lot of fan-made stage designs, and even a track cycling variant!
Some of theses ideas will be present in the first expansion of the game which will be available soon:
As you can read on Lautapeli's website, this expansion "offers a chase group of four riders (pink and white rouleurs and sprinters), enabling the game to be played with up to 6 players." However, it t will offer much more than that since it will include new track tiles for cobblestones, supply zones, early breakaways, as well as rules for dummy teams (which, of course, means solo play). So this expansion is a must, and I cannot wait to have one in my hands.
What is left out and will have to wait for a next expansion (hopefully)? A third rider (grimpeur) in the team, probably, and the possibility to make longer races, for which we need more track tiles and also more energy cards. While we wait for these, let me offer you an piece of advice: buy a second box of the base game. As i said elsewhere, I generally do with games that offer modular tracks, since it offers a lot of possible variants. In this case, with the many possibilities offered by the game, I think it is even more necessary. I am even thinking of picking up two boxes with the expansion!
UPDATE (nov 2017): The Peloton expansion has been presented at the Essen fair. While I wait to receive my copy and review it properly, I can only tell you that the rules are already available for download (here) and that, if you liked the game, you MUST get the expansion.
...and that I hope this is not the last expansion to appear for this game!

BOSSES at Wearside transport giant Arriva Abba lot to smile about.
The Doxford International-based firm has been awarded the contract for the first phase of Sweden's largest integrated public transport tender.
The 12-year contract – called E20 – was awarded by the regional transport authority Storstockholms Lokaltrafik (SL).
It doubles Arriva's operations in Sweden, seeing it provide an additional 94million passenger journeys a year through combining bus and rail services into integrated public transport networks.
After the formal launch in Stockholm, SL and Arriva employees handed out 15,000 red roses to bus and rail passengers to encourage the contribution of ideas on how to improve transport services.
The passenger who provides the best idea will be rewarded with free passenger transport in Stockholm for seven years.
In addition to its existing bus and rail operations, from today Arriva will run the Nockebybanan tram line in the western suburbs of Stockholm; the Lidingöbanan light rail system which operates to Lidingö island, and more than 250 buses in Bromma, Sollentuna, Solna and Sundbyberg.
The first phase of the contract includes 1,100 employees, 255 buses and 82 trams/light trains and will see the firm deliver 61million passenger journeys a year.
The second phase begins in January, and will see the number of employees involved rise to 2,020 employees, with 484 buses, and 183 trams/light trains, delivering an additional 33million passenger journeys a year.
David Evans, managing director of Arriva's mainland Europe division, said: "Stockholm's transport system will lead the way in integrated travel and we are excited to be playing a pivotal role.
"By providing joined-up services that are easy to use, and which take people where they need to go, we aim to increase train and bus patronage in Stockholm. We will focus on improving each element of our customers' journeys.
"Our operational expertise in Sweden and wider experience across 12 countries in delivering passenger transport contracts has been drawn upon as we have worked to introduce phase one of the contract.
"Our teams of people in Sweden and across the wider Arriva group have worked tremendously hard on a very detailed mobilisation process to ensure a smooth start for our employees, passengers and SL.
"We're focused on delivering the commitments we made in our bid: high quality transport services which meet passenger requirements and the expectations of SL."

YOUNG entrepreneurs are squeezing in time outside going to school to kickstart their own small businesses.
Council of Small Business of Australia chief executive Peter Strong believes there are tens of thousands of small businesses operating in the hands of teens.
"We think there's at least 50,000 school kids running real businesses around Australia," he says. "I met a girl selling jewellery online, a boy selling surfboards and people doing backyard stuff. There was a Year 12 student doing baby-sitting and she was advertising in the newspaper and putting ads up in the local area."
Teen Riley Mitchell's dogged determination saw him start his own business while at school.
Fond of his labrador Hugo, and having questioned why quality hair products existed for humans but not dogs, the 14-year-old decided to create quality shampoos for dogs.
"I wanted to put good products from human hair products into dog shampoo, so I thought why can't we use all the good stuff that we use in human shampoo on the dogs as well," he says. "I never thought in a million years I'd be running a business selling dog shampoo."
Riley's business, aptly named A Boy & His Dog, has gone on to create a range of shampoos pooch-style, including an everyday, sensitive and quick spray-on shampoo, quick spray-on conditioner, bedding spray and natural shampoo.
Strong says there are many teenagers like Riley creating businesses and running them without parental help.
"Some of them, who don't have any assistance, run with an ABN. But then there's those that don't even know what an ABN is - they just make surf-boards and sell them," he says.
Strong says social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter have made it easier for younger generations to start a business.
Riley's dad Troy says his son had an interest in business from a young age. "He's always been a bit entrepreneurial and he's been thinking about business, so when he questioned why Hugo didn't have the same good stuff that Mum uses on her hair, I said 'why don't you design your own'," he says.
"He thought more about it and did his own research and couldn't find any products that had argan oil and Pro Vitamin B5, so we thought maybe he's got a good idea.
"We thought we'd fund it and lend him a couple of thousand dollars to get it off the ground and we found a manufacturer and they liked the idea."
Queensland Guide Dogs Association spokesman Matthew Barwick says they use Riley's dog-care products.
"Guide Dogs Queensland has been using A Boy & His Dog shampoo ... for the past four months," he says. "The shampoo has worked well."
1. Get a mentor, it doesn't have to be a family member. Find someone who can offer you sound advice.
2. Draw up a plan of your income and expenditure and how much time it's going to take to run the business. Don't get too fancy; keep it simple.
3. Don't be afraid of criticism. This is where a mentor is crucial as there will be lots of people who offer advice and criticism.
4. Every now and then, reassess how your business is going. What's happened over the past few months; have you spent more than you've earnt? Also have a plan of what to do with any income.
5. Get an Australian Business Number, pay taxes and comply with legislation.

All Those Climate Change Pledges Are A Farce, New York Times Says
fter decades spent playing up the dangers of a warming planet, the New York Times admits that even if every country lived up to their current carbon reduction pledges, it won't make any difference. Pointing to a "new analysis,' the Times notes that the planet would still heat up by 6 degrees Fahrenheit, which is too high to prevent global catastrophes from raining down. The analysis comes from Climate Interactive, which is the source of carbon calculations used by the U.S. and other governments. It concluded the current pledges — made in advance of the big Paris conference on climate change — would reduce the expected global warming to 6.3 degrees, from 8.1 degrees that would occur without those pledges. Keep in mind that climate scientists say that any warming above 3.6 degrees will be really, really bad. (Some even say this threshold is too high.) So what's the point? Why should countries undertake a hugely expensive effort to reduce carbon emissions, when the climate scientists themselves are saying it won't do any good? Because they want to feel better about themselves? Get some good headlines?...more
