Every morning when I log onto MyFitnessPal: ‘Hey, you really need to subscribe to Premium, you’ll receive no tangible benefits except not to see this advert on a daily basis’.

I entered an Audax taking place tomorrow however due to the current and forecast weather I’m now not riding it. There’s power cuts, 90mph winds, 30mm of rain today and it is still taking place. I’d like to see their risk assessment…

What a tosser. No VED either.

@dcrainmaker.com This Garmin Trails feature hasn’t really taken off…

My latest Vinted item… check out the description.

all in good fun

£7.90 from the park and ride to Edinburgh Airport, that’s less than a mile. Thieving bastards.

Buongiorno! Just waiting for our traditional alpine sausage and egg bap... Just managed to get the order in before a coach load of Trump Supporters arrived from Edinborrow. #Glenshee #Cairngorms

If I close my eyes and squint this could almost be the Sassolungo Bike Park in the Dolomites. Glenshee, although a great place is no Val Gardena… #Glenshee #Sassolungo

Bugger me, it’s full-on ‘burn the witch’ this morning on LBC

I’ve just heard that Purple Aki has died.

It transpires that Dynafit Disnaefit me.

That was close, don’t use Komoot folks!

No new pictures, where are you mentally?

People on Vinted are mental.

I attempted to watch the Vuelta in today’s post-ITV Cycling world and am reminded that the ‘future’ of cycling on TV is being commentated by a bloke whose voice sounds like the bloke down the pub you never really want to be captured by. Mr Kelly may have been an outstanding rider in his time but….

Occasional reminder for anyone in France that the superb Carte IGN app has maps that are pretty much the equal of Ordnance Survey, and unlike OS, the app is FREE.

Hey folks, what is Dynafit kit like?

That’s us home from the road trip. 75 hours of driving, 3000 miles and one haircut.

Not today my dear fellow, not today… We have just popped into a supermarche in Calais and found this likely lad trying the doors to the motorhome…

Happy #fingerpostfriday!

Forggensee is truly magical.

Status Update: I’m sat sweltering in my pants.

All the Italians one this site are going to the showers wearing microfibres robes and not using towels. One question, how do they ‘Floss’?

When Trump does pop off this mortal coil I do hope he goes out in style. Not like the Coop funeral adverts but like Najibullah, Gadaffi or Ceaucescu.

Bulleit Bourbon suffers a large drop in international sales in 2025. Hmmm you don’t need the brains of an Archbishop to work out why? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A big no no in the Alps is walking on the pastures as it is the Winter feed for the livestock. That didn’t stop a couple of prize tits on Alpe de Siusi dressed in flowing white garments in a close embrace with a camera on a tripod. They heard me shout in broad Tyke ‘get out the pasture, dickheads’.

When you’re packed in like sardines you have to choose the best pitch on the site.

Hoofing day up Sassolungo. A bit busy until the second refugio/lunchtime. Saw marmots, eagles and some influencers frolicking in the wild.

May I just say that Alpe di Suisi is a bit smaller than I imagined.

Up on Alpe de Suisi overlooking Sassolungo. Happy #fingerpostfriday

Buongiorno!

Holy moly, we’re sat on a terrace in Bergamo sipping the local vino and someone has just ordered a cappuccino at Five in the afternoon.

Has anyone ever descended an alpine road in a vehicle without their brakes getting hot and a bit smelly?

@glenorchil.bsky.social the view from my napping position…

@lauralaker.bsky.social @nedboulting.bsky.social come and marvel at the sheer magnificence of these free solar powered bike chargers at Cogne in the Grand Paradiso National Park.

Off you pop now… spambot

Magura MT2-8 brake pads for sale. 50p ono, quick sale, no time wasters.

Why can’t we have this in the UK? Check out my @Speedtest result! How fast is your internet? www.speedtest.net/result/i/669...

Go for a hill walk, get a chair lift up, see an ibex then finish with a negroni. What’s not to like?

Perfecto!

Garmin says what?

@tomstaniford.bsky.social Espresso of the day!

Booked on the 1640 crossing, turned up at 0930, applied my legendary charm & a Roger Moore-esque raised eyebrow and now waiting to board the 1130!

We’re waiting for my 79 year old Dad to tandem parachute in aid of breast cancer charities. He is on the third stick of the day and he previous stick a tandem which had to cut-away and deploy the reserve….

Well, we didn’t have Scarborough Hospital on the itinerary for the Europe road trip…. All settled in a balmy Bridlington now with and Aldi Pimm’s…

So, self confessed Nairo Quintana fan you know the doper, admits to shouting abuse at Geraint Thomas because of a member of the team staff possibly being involved in operation Andermas. The hypocrisy knows no bounds.

#FingerPostFriday, Salutations, here are my offerings:

Your periodical reminder that nothing says ‘skint farmer’ more than wearing double-cuffed shirts and cufflinks whilst in the fields.
