Lots of looking at bikes and listening to people talking about bikes. And showing off our knowledge of women's cycling trivia by both answering questions correctly and winning zwift musettes. Mind you my club membership would be revoked if I didn't know who won the first women's Paris roubaix...

Rivers are such interesting places - here glimpses of life on the Grwyne Fawr, in Wales. Lovely to see the Otter moving upstream and the great variety of bats which were present. Looking forward to reading 'Tarka Revisited' by Ian Parsons. He always writes with such great insight & intelligence.

On our way to see @thelovelyeggs.bsky.social but is it a D or an F hiding behind the hat? 😉

@cyclocrosss.bsky.social Just catching up with the Meulebeke episode. Respect for the fury directed at those behind the women's Pauwels Sauzen team - the riders deserve better.

The smallest ones have to stop at the barriers, put their bike over, climb over, then repeat the process It’s amazing It takes like 30 seconds They do not care Only ripping the course with their friends matters

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

For all noise around a tiny angry minority, it's the positive, vibrant celebrations of migrant cultures that draw the crowds. Leeds West Indian Carnival

Last night I did a 2-Up TT with said 70yr old. He may have ~30yrs on me, but he put me in the red, got me some of my best numbers of the year, and still unwittingly dropped me on an uphill drag! 🤣

Duckie lives on the bars of my bike and looks a bit worse for wear but has definitely had some adventures!

Easter yarn bombing in Shrewsbury. I like that there are so many footbridges over the river, and you wouldn't decorate a road bridge like this!

Let's watch some stripey jerseys get won!

The duck hats are a stroke of marketing brilliance. Walking back from a cafe in Leeds, UK, whilst wearing one I heard a shout of 'X2O' and ended up chatting with a stranger about CX! 😄

Happy birthday to Terry Pratchett, who wrote the books so full of humanity and righteous fury at the injustices of the world that he made me a better person the world is poorer for having lost him, but what a legacy he left behind here is a thread I wrote about Discworld, and why it’s so special
