Evening all. TDF diary entry number 15 or something. And this time it's about water displacement values. Gripping stuff. open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...

I get my feet wet. open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...

It's the Tour de France today!

OK. That's over. Can we now please concentrate on the point competition at the Tour de France. Thank you.

Vichy France. And other tales. open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...

Evening all. My latest TDF Diary is now live. There's a TDF quiz in it, which David mostly failed. open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...

Didn't even make it to the first rest day until I cracked. Launderette Diaries. open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...

Well. This is awkward. 🇫🇷

It will surprise no one who knows me that I got PROPERLY chased by dogs this morning. Plus. Pogačar and Jonas. open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...

Stage 5 Tour de France diary, and the quest for the bucket hat remains frustrated. open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...

So, there I was, just tuning in to @nedboulting.bsky.social on For The Love of Cycling, and look what I walked past

Morning! It's the Tour de France today!

The reviews are in for me and David in the comments. "This has to be the most crass cycling commentary ever - these people are crashing bores" www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CRU...

I really miss ITV’s daily roundup and Gary Imlach’s inimitable wit but I’m enjoying the review and analysis in @nedboulting.bsky.social’s For The Love of Cycling podcast.

Evening. Dogs, watermelon, Orwell and flies. Plus Tadej's well disguised world weariness. open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...

It's Coming Home obviously. But in the meantime, here's a thing about Haribo. nedboulting.substack.com/p/tour-de-fr...

I think if you race up it at 28k an hour, it will feel pretty steep. Thanks for the kind words

Today I watched the Tour de France for the first time. open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...

Tonight's diary is up. Sign up this month to my Substack, and experience discounts. There. That's the sales pitch. open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...

Please spread this far and wide. Not every podcast sneaks onto the team bus and casually sits at the back for a natter.

25 minutes of your time. Man I love these people. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJhl...

Stayed last night at the wonderful Wildhive Callow Hall near Ashbourne, who are supporting the Festival. I’ve stayed here before but can’t remember when. Anyway it’s an astonishingly beautiful hotel. Thanks for the bed - and thank you to everyone who packed out the hall last night. We had fun.

I'm on stage at the Ashbourne Festival tonight, folks - and there are a single digit number of tickets left if you want. ashbournefestival.org/events/ned-b... Then off to Barcelona tomorrow...but here's a preview of the TdF Hommes with me, David, Lizzie and Pete: www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4zU...

A little natter about Accidental Tourism for you listen to if you want.

Nope

Got the whole gang together this morning to talk about Lizzie's passport trauma, Pete's festival clothing and the Tours de Suisse, Reusser, Pogačar et al. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Mym...

🇫🇷

I tell you what... you don't get football commentators/pundits of the calibre of this! Can you imagine Wayne Rooney writing as eloquently about his sport as Ned Boulting does about the Tour de France?

July just won't be the same without the ITV coverage of #tdf but it's still possible to get Ned's thoughts on it. 🚴‍♂️ #cycling

A little film set in Waterstones, Lewisham. (Paperback out today)

Morning everyone. Here's a little hymn of praise about the moment before the Tour de France starts. I've knocked out the paywall on this one, and offer it up for free, to everyone. Please spread it far and wide if you enjoy what I have written. open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...

Coming in the next hour or so. Sign up to YouTube and never miss an episode: youtube.com/@loveofcycli...

Really, really enjoyable NSF-style FTLOCycling episode with Pete and David on its way to you - all the normal podcast places as well as on YouTube to watch! Loved recording it.

It will always be the Dauphiné. open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...
