Off to the flicks tonight at #PhoenixLeicester with @willfoth.bsky.social for a sold out screening of #ASundayInHell. It’s bit dreich in @rideleicester.bsky.social this evening but that’s a poor excuse for staying home given the subject. #Cobbles #caps #Danish www.phoenix.org.uk/whats-on/pro...

Bit of a chat re things uk road racing thanks @thebritishcontinental.co.uk

Last night I watched A Sunday in Hell, Jorgen Leth's magnificent film about the 1976 Paris-Roubaix, on the big screen, with additional detail and context courtesy of @willfoth.bsky.social. Unsurprisingly, it was a tremendous evening.

Thanks Jack so glad you enjoyed it

First up, Ely tomorrow… still a few tickets left for this one. More in the New Year… radiodaysevents.com/2024/10/08/a...

wow, what a moment to treasure!! Amazing. Also @willfoth.bsky.social book is well worth a read about the making of the film

Ned's bang on here.

Nice piece in the @theguardian.com today. @willfoth.bsky.social - do you think the real issue might be multiple French teams (each with one of the potential french champs) and they all seem more interested in beating one another rather than winning. www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/j...

Cycling as SPORT klaxon: It's that time again: a few days before the start and a nice piece on one aspect of the Tour by @willfoth.bsky.social, completed by a photo by the one and only Graham Watson. www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/j... Looking forward to the full race preview!

Nice concise bite-sized explanations of each stage from seasoned Tour commentator @willfoth.bsky.social . We expect nothing less. www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/j...

m.youtube.com/watch?v=QpVa... Iconic location on todays Vuelta stage

Really great to see @theguardian.com give good space to this obit of the late Barry Hoban. He didn’t get the fame he merited when he was racing, good to redress the balance a small bit

Matty Brennan, Britain's hottest talent, spent a large part of his childhood sitting behind a derny at Middlesbrough velodrome. The concrete track was crucial in his development. Now the velodrome needs extra funding to maintain it. If you can help... www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/middlesbro...

Just reading about this now in Roule Britannia 👍

Wednesday in the Weald = Sunday in Hell - one of the nicest venues we’ve had for a screening. Rye tomorrow

actually a splendid Tuesday in Glasgow with @willfoth.bsky.social

Tuesday in Glasgow = Sunday in Hell looking forward to the Film Theatre screening tonite

Should be a lot of fun in a city with massive cycling history

Just in case anyone is interested, here is a picture of Winston Churchill in 1943, wearing his wartime 'siren suit' on his way to meet President Roosevelt. He wore the same suit when he went to ask for more money under Lend-Lease the year before.

Sad to see this JA was a nice guy, great colleague in the press room always helpful with some good stories

Just over a month to this… enter here www.britishcycling.org.uk/events/detai...

Go go Joe! Nice to see a shout for Halesowen Academy here, looking forward to our round of National U23 series on June 8

Top stuff from the boy

Here’s a short story about who wins and loses from the status quo of our inheritance tax rules - and about, what you might politely call ‘sub-optimal’ journalism🧵

Fun evening with Rob Hayles hosting the West Midlands road racing volunteer evening with trophy presentation for the season’s regional champions. Can’t beat a few hours burbling on about bike racing

100 Days until Omloop Nieuwsblad (Het Volk for us old folks)

Top work Pete

The best distraction when you’re sitting at a computer

Todays little outing the excellent Conquest Theatre in Bromyard to present this classic. Lovely evening - thanks to all who came and to the lovely volunteers who run the place
