I like cycling, road/gravel as much as possible. I have 2 black labs that keep me active when not on the bike. For work, I'm a a WiFi support engineer. Opinions are my own

I've not done that exact route but I've ridden most of it and done some big miles and climbing, expect hurty legs and great views ๐Ÿ˜

I never thought I'd see the day when the worlds biggest democracy folded so quickly and with so little resistance. In the UK we have our own share of similar bad actors on Putin's payroll, we must make sure they don't get a sniff of power.

An upgrade means in theory at least, my WiFi is faster than my broadband connection again

Lucinda is my favourite rider, she is so gritty and determined. The have been some fantastic races this season, I'd say overall the women's racing is more exciting than the mens

I've seen this a few times in the last few days and have no idea why it's so funny but it cracks me up every time ๐Ÿ˜‚

Netherton tunnel in Birmingham, 2.7km long

The longest tunnel I ever cycled through 2.7km (you can just see the exit as a white dot) it's only lit up due to my lights, crazy but I loved it

Don't get cocky, my 13 yo car likes to wait until I've bought new bike stuff before kicking my arse with some random fault ๐Ÿ‘€

Yeah that's kind of what happened I hit an unseen leaf full dip at speed and landed on the back of the saddle, initially I assumed it was the seat loose then I saw the damage to the post. The damage is at the rear of the post

I was having a great time until my saddle post snapped, Burt didn't stop me, cracked carbon fibre did ๐Ÿ˜ญ

No I don't want to use the inbuilt browser in your app, it means I have to login to everything many more times and android intents don't work properly
