Thank you - loads of you have done this, and left amazing comments. Really kind.

If you enjoyed the Accidental Tour-ist, then perhaps you might put your ballot paper in the digital box? I'd be enormously grateful. I mean, there's bigger things in the word than this. But the really teeny tiny things also matter (to me). peoplesbookprize.com/2025-categor...

No paywall. Nice bit of Hamlet and Pog. open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...

Recorded this on my way home from town a couple of years ago. This time of year though, when night falls very suddenly and very dark.

No telly for us in 2026. But that's OK. open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...

Today's NSF is as random as you like. Action from NSF Hill Climb. "Analysis" from David, Pete and Lizzie. And a chat about cycling with Michael van Gerwen. (Photo by Getty) podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/n...

Wow!

Two thirds of these have gone so far today.

I'm was absolutely delighted to see your name on the cover when @nedboulting.bsky.social shared its launch. This could be the year I finally commit, or plead family members for a Christmas present!

Me on my 10am catch-up with a teammate: we can talk in a minute I just need to make sure I do this first...

Took a little time out from the Tour Presentation to continue the collection which is becoming an obsession!

Boom

Ordered, keeping the collection complete.

When we first launched The Road Book in 2018, we needed it to look perfect. And, 8 editions later, it still is. [Every year the signed and numbered editions sell out. Don't miss out. Pre-order now in plenty of time for Christmas.] theroadbook.co.uk/products/the...

A fun day at the @nedboulting.bsky.social NSF hill climb. Massive props to XO bikes for putting on a great show. We ran, walked and biked. It was enormous fun!

Yesterday, a little corner of a grey day was very bright. open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...

"Towns and villages that wake briefly to the clatter of the race, and then are engulfed once again in autumn’s hush."

New NSF, in which @RealStephens and I report from Il Lombardia and imagine how good cycling commentary would sound if it was golf. (Pic by Russ Ellis) podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/n...

Non cyclingsport folks (and fans), do yourselves a favour. Make a coffee, doesn't have to be perfect, and settle down to read this. Thank you Ned. Grazie mille.

Ahead of my penultimate commentary of 2025. A love letter to Piemonte. open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...

Finished it. Thank you @nedboulting.bsky.social Yes an obsession but also a work of love. 2 1/2 minutes of flickering, faded history brought back to life in post war Europe. And proficiat to Théo Beeckman 🇧🇪

There are so many races, all across the world, all the time. What a sport. open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...

The associated pod was superb. Much as I love the Grand Tour coverage, this type of content is my favourite. And with some Maid of Orleans thrown in, it was perfection.

A lot of accidental tourism yesterday
