E.T. is on. Blatant collusion between Hollywood and the bicycle industry that duped a generation of BMX riders. Or maybe just me. π

Never mind that, weβve got TWO WHOLE DAYS to wait until the next cyclocross race. Disgrace. #cyclingbluesky
An enormous piano isnβt quite what I asked for, Genie of the Lamp.
TNT call that simply βTrofee Veldrijdenβ in their schedule π

Bit of an impromptu Feed Zone with @dstan58.bsky.social and @chrissidwells1.bsky.social this evening. Dropping now in podcatchers everywhere. π shows.acast.com/cycling-lege...
Lucinda staat in Brand! π³π± #UCICXWC
Itβs going to be a season of βNSN - formerly known as Israel-PremierTechβ, isnβt it? #CyclingBlueSky #NotStartupNation

Treasonous podcast listening stats from Spotify
Donβt let on to Sidwells, whatever you do. π¬
Ooh, Iβll fix that! He was a bit ethereal in the mix, wasnβt he? π»
Iβve fixed it and republished the episode, with Chris restored to all his original Dolby Atmos Campagnolo Super Record Technicolor glory.
Finally getting to Canyon//SRAMβs tenth anniversary special. Mad to think the teamβs lineage actually goes back to Specialized Lululemon and Telekom/T-Mobile before that, some 20+ years ago. π #CyclingBlueSky
We were kinda meaning road - Iβve been talking cross for a month now. We did have a more detailed chat about the Euros planned but got derailed! π
Patβs side hustle? #CyclingBlueSky
I bought this tome from the Vintage-Cycling Club at the Simpson Retro a couple of weeks ago. It is RIDICULOUSLY geeky, as well as being hugely informative. Iβm already down a Carlton frame number rabbit hole. π€#CyclingBlueSky
Chuffed to see Demi back to winning ways. π³π±πͺπΊ
I worked there from late 1990 until 1994. Our offices were well away from the good stuff but I still remember walking across the main hall on winter evenings and watching snow fall on the glass roof. Magical. π
My first posting as a very junior civil servant was a secondment to the NMS HR department. So long ago that it was called βPersonnelβ then. π€£
βMonsieur Lappartient, this would be a great opportunity for the UCI to lead the sporting world and be on the right side of history for once.β

Ibrox Stadium under floodlights and moody skies
Definitely not a Flanders Classic at Ibrox tonight, at least not ifyou support the home team. Got a good pic, mind.
On the local supporters bus to the Rangers v Brugges game tonight and sitting with my son and his pals. It occurs to me that my scarf is easily twice as old as all of them and probably older than their dads. π€£
.@massivewagons.bsky.social are always brilliant live but Fridayβs Patreon bash in Morecambe was next level. Throat still feeling the vocal exertions today, while the 70s disco outfit is on the washing line frightening the neighbours. Missing my long black hair, mind. π
Thatβs it sealed then π
My morning commute is a 1km walk to the station followed by a similar walk to the office. Neither is onerous but I really really want a Brompton π€£. #CyclingBlueSky
At least π€£
An hour on the turbo has been scientifically proven* to equate to 4 hours on the road.

Spotify has been trolling me with #Britpop all weekend, which has been no bad thing really (post-Morning Glory Oasis notwithstanding) and especially since I subsequently rediscovered Sleeperβs first 2 albums.

And this is happening under a Labour government. It really does beggar belief. π
