Remembering July (no paywall) open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...

Oh, @nedboulting.bsky.social 😢 So many memories. youtu.be/RjFk6H-dTWQ?...

Cheeky request about our own hill climb, supported by one of your own NSF podders, could you share this? bsky.app/profile/liam...

New poddery while you watch the worlds. NSF/XOBikes Hill Climb news and the mighty Emily Chappell comes to stay. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/n...

I swear this is one of the most creative, original, funny and moving films I have ever seen. How had I not heard of of it until this evening? I was crying with laughter and then totally immersed. Now streaming on Mubi.

No paywall - because everything is better without paywalls* *although I also need a paywall to keep going. But you know what I mean. open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...

I have so enjoyed writing this piece. It sets out to answer THE question about cycling. I think I found an answer this week. open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...

This is the piece I have always wanted to write. Is cycling even fun? open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...

Perfect

The NSF Hill Climb is ON! Thanks to Lewisham Council for your support, and to our charity partner, XO Bikes. Oct 18th. There are 50 places (free), choosing from three options to tackle the mighty "Mûr de Ned": Cycling, Running and Walking. Enter now: neverstraysfar.com/pages/events

I made it! And guess who helped? #SisterEllen podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/n...

This is what this is all about. As Lizzie says: it's a passion project.

There is no reason for doing this at all. I am halfway through nothing. Here's the first part of my rather ponderous bike ride, all alone, from Lewisham to Amsterdam. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/n...

I'd be disappointed if she didn't

Stage 2's NSF is now live. Dani is weirdly obsessed. Plus bike racing. And LIZZIE is back. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/n...

I'm at the Vuelta - tomorrow - for the pod. But, today, even though I am in Spain, I have been in Suffolk. open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...

"2019 was the year of cycling’s Big Bang. That was the year of MVDP’s battering ram of a ride at Amstel Gold that flouted the rules of physics, let alone tactics."

“Almost the perfect piece Ned. We are privileged to be watching these wonderful riders.” Thanks @sturmyarcher3.bsky.social

Been thinking a bit about Pog, Wout, MVDP, Ving and Remco. open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...

Out for a walk yesterday and took the opportunity to check out the tribute to @nedboulting.bsky.social in my neighbourhood. Chapeau to the minds behind this!

This is such a beautiful and enlightening collection of articles. I was absolutely captivated.

I think journalism means listening to the story, , questioning it and relating that experience in words. Much of what passes for journalism in 2025 does nothing of the sort. Clickbait opinionism is not journalism. Neither is striding around with a set agenda and an iPhone.

I've removed the paywall from a trilogy of posts I wrote a while ago about my visit in 2015 to Iran. I would like them to be read, of course I would. Especially at a time when misunderstanding and prejudice are a seductive common currency. open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...

Another treasure. Wow.

Another very special book has fallen into my hands. open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...

How good is La Jetée? We had a film buff to stay last couple of nights and she insisted we watched it. I can't stop thinking about it. It's flipping extraodinary.

Hello @jcbuckley.bsky.social Just read this basically in a sitting. I was captivated - and then right at the very very end, blindsided by a very niche cycling reference. Bravo.

This is a wonderful read. About fathers and sons.

"West German decathlete Jürgen Hingsen in the foetal position" bit of a niche reference... 🤣🤣 ..but thank you very much for the laugh. [needed that today]

I’m home
