Partway through my December 200k audax. Fuck me, it’s bad. Not ostentatiously bad, but not enjoyable really

That’s the fugliest redesign I’ve ever seen. Jesus!!!

WHO MANAGED TO BUY A LAST MINUTE TICKET FOR DOVES SUPPORTED BY HAYDEN THORPE FOR CAMBRIDGE TONIGHT FOR LESS THAN THE RRP!

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama. Us: Across your entire career? Reiner: In a 6 year period. Us: That sounds- Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

Knives Out 3! So satisfying on so many levels. Top notch murder mystery shit with so much humour and so much heart - this is what distinguishes the Knives Out films from your average murder mystery. I’ve adored all of them so far ❤️

Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health. The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information. They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift. Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air Get public health advice from experts, not RFK Jr

I haven’t eaten since lunch but I’ve had quite a lot of liquid calories (I’m starving 🥶😬🥺)

I will go to my grave screaming about how Pennywise being a clown hits completely different for anyone under 40 or 50, because the original intent was that Pennywise LOOKED HARMLESS, because “IT” predates scary clowns, & if the story were modern, Pennywise would manifest as a ninja turtle or Luffy

Riding 45km from the brewery back home when you’re half cut 🚫 Dicking around half cut on the phone on the train instead ✅

I love a good mid-week movie. Chill vibes. And oh, hey, #WakeUpDeadMan is in theaters! See my pinned post for a theater finder link. We drop Friday on Netflix ⏰☠️🪦

“Chrimbo”

cannot begin to tell you how happy I am to have stumbled upon the Paris building shared by metal music fans and the union for metal workers, what a delight

The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow

Me- “I’m planning to semi-retire from audax this season ✌️” Also me - “I’m going to organise an all-ladies Easter Arrow team and ride 3 audaxes and run a fucking half marathon next March(?!)” 👀😬

I appreciate that Black Friday sales are a great opportunity to buy something that you truly need or have coveted for a while for less money but GOOD GOD I AM SICK OF BEING BOMBARDED WITH EMAILS ABOUT BLOODY BLACK FRIDAY

Cc @owenaudax.bsky.social ❄️😬

The Discover tab is insane though! Mine is moderately interesting stuff interspersed with booby anime ladies (I have zero interest in booby anime ladies)

Number of times I have exclaimed a desire to travel to, or to be in Spain (specifically Mallorca or the Canaries) today = at least 10 🥶❄️

Another season of Line of Duty…!

Breaking: Line of Duty has been confirmed for a seventh series, BBC has said. 17 million people saw the series six finale in 2021. Steve, Ted Hastings (like the battle) and Kate are all reprising their roles.

That’s most people’s 5K time 👀😆

The fact that this person remains Health Secretary is objectively one of the most significant British political scandals of the post-Covid era. But because he's doing something the media barons like, everyone has decided it's fine.

Whaaatttt 👀 road.cc/content/news...

The problem with having sadgirl tastes in music - you really have to scrabble around to find tunes to add to a running playlist. I appear to be limited to Charli XCX, Beyoncé and Kings of the Stone Age 😬

This person took this when they called the race

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

Academics in Assyria in the 7th c BC complain that admin is preventing them from doing research and teaching

It’s remarkable how much I’m still aching from Saturday’s parkrun (legs, abs(?!)). The moral of the story is - it is a bad idea to stop running for 4.5 months, and then proceed to do some half-arsed stretches on a start line before jumping straight in with a full gas effort for 5K 🥶

Yes. Exactly this.

Walking to work in London and being hit by a thump of culture shock. It’s amazing how many people are commuting to work on public bicycles here! Inspiring, really! #LoveLondon

My very last audax of audax season 2024-2025 completed! Delightful cake break (I always try to visit at least one fancy bakery on my rides), and I should be on 63pts now. ✌️

I thought I was free to enjoy my 4 day weekend but I’ve just been surprised by an impromptu Zoom mtg. JEBUS CHROIST

After 300kms this weekend, I just need to log an extra 110miles to hit 10,000kms of bike distance for 2025. Not a lot really for an audaxer but a huge amount for me!

Celebrity Traitors is endlessly entertaining! Celia Imrie in particular is just coming out with banger after banger (from both ends)

A rather grey and damp weekend beckons, perfect for autumnal hibernation and cosy times. (I am planning to ride 300k 🙃) I’m so ready for audax season 2024-2025 to be over 😂

I’ve been obsessed with McVities’ caramel millionaire slices recently. A base of buttery digestive flapjack layered with caramel and choc?? It is obscene and I’ve been eating 1-2 every day for the past couple of weeks 💀❤️

Not that it matters but TIL Bradford Cox is gay(?)

my god there has never been a more accurate use of this

Apparently when it comes to audax points I’m in the top 5 (ladies category) this year

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

Tag yourself, I'm RAIN RAIN BARKELS

Still one of the greatest to ever do it ❤️

I have a pair of these on my Tailfin, they are v good for credit card touring (when 18litres isn’t quite enough) 😺

Did I pay £4.99 for an album containing a song about Travis Kelce’s peen? Yes…I did. (I’m not a Swiftie really! But she has at least 3 really good albums that I am well-acquainted with)

Reaction to most headlines nowadays = “fascist piece of shit”. Strange how it becomes normalised, strange how no one is doing anything about this. 🫥

Me whenever I look at over-cooked HDR photography

I slag off Vinted sellers a lot but this is the perfect way to sell your item.

White Lotus is full of heinous/unlikeable characters who are also, on some level, quite relatable, and I’m deep into season 3 now 👀
