Furry croissant at The Veg Patch. 10 miles from the race route and ready for Le Tour de France 2027. Tourist Information oblivious, despite only 16 months to go, but a soft plush croissant from The Veg Patch is just the job. Allez allez allez #tdf #tdf2027 #letour

Sausage curl and a pint of Bowland Pheasant next

Wetter and otter. A rainy walk by The Lune.

Between tarmac & pasture, a wall-top blooms with Bird’s-foot Trefoil, Harebell, ferns and fine grasses. A narrow ribbon of biodiversity squeezed between two low-diversity landscapes. #WildflowerHour #Biodiversity #Cumbria forktail.co.uk/2025/08/27/a...

I'm 110% Yorkshire but now and again Chorley Cakes and Lancashire cheese just seem right. Gets you in the zone for the 2027 Tour de France #letourgb #tdf2027

Narrator: the 2027 #TourDeFranceFemmes will ride over it!

Agreed! Full mudguards, mudflaps, racks & dynohub lights is what I see as a complete setup for all cycles.

Watch this. Share this.

That's not my Tardis. It's doors are too green.

Colours on my cycle to work

There is sunshine. Canada Geese fly overhead. An aeriel peloton smoothly switching places. The washing line stirs from its sleep.

Col du Cannon Brewery. A new foothill on the approach to the former ski village.

It's that time again

Nidderdale. The River Nidd.

The Nidderdale Way. Pateley Bridge St Cuthbert. Kendall's pork pies. And a rock. A taster of Brimham Rocks ahead. #yorkshire @nationaltrust.org.uk

“It's not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. For me it's the same as if you bought a cow, or a refrigerator, and then asked me where you're going to put them.” — Mayor of Pontevedra, Spain (re-elected 6 times)

#MondayMotivation Snow Drops are starting to pop up all around the #PeakDistrict! 😀 Signs that spring is definitely on the way. 💚

I feel like this is what happens when you actually have principles?? like you don’t have to scrabble around for nonsense because you know what you stand for

Post a sign from your country that tells a story about how they treat their roads.

Hating someone because they are cycling is weird frankly. It's like hating someone because they using the bus. It's definitely a problem with the person doing the hating.

“Auschwitz took time” Words to haunt, words to remember and words to ensue it doesn’t ever happen again

Both of these were taken in the last 24 hours. I'll let you decide which represents the future of politics in this country...

From Viz, three years ago: The Brexit Opportunity Detector. Still looking.

Partial demolition of Cannon Brewery. Neepsend.

A day of clearing out. I accumulated loads of stuff preparing for Le Tour de France 2014 #tdf2014 and The Yorkshire Festival. Now need to create space for the 2027 Tour #tdf2027, Le Tour Femmes and Joy Social Impact Programme #tdff #health #wellbeing #community

Bellringing practice night where we discussed ringing for the 2027 Tour Femmes and where we rang Cambridge Minor, call changes, Plain Bob Doubles, Original and Plain Bob Minor. Nice.

The enemy - how they travel

So today I learned that France has an annual 'world championship seagull impression' contest 🤯 The videos are *incredible* www.youtube.com/watch?v=23Rn...

As I understand it the TV director just hits “church bells” button as the helicopter circles the eglise.

The Snake Pass needs to be ready for this

Snake Pass. A beautiful climb. Great news its in the Tour de Femmes 2027 #letour #tdff Here's a taste of riding it as a closed road bellsandbikes.com/2024/09/19/s...

Castleford, Yorkshire, Christmas 1976, by Chris Killip. Terraced house and coal mine with a fence made of old house doors and a child looking out of the window.

I'm dreaming of a bike Christmas

A Christmas Carol. At The Crucible. Fantastic performance and so relevant to our times.
