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

Never mind that, we’ve got TWO WHOLE DAYS to wait until the next cyclocross race. Disgrace. #cyclingbluesky

An enormous piano isn’t quite what I asked for, Genie of the Lamp.

TNT call that simply “Trofee Veldrijden” in their schedule 😂

Cycling Legends Podcast

Bit of an impromptu Feed Zone with @dstan58.bsky.social and @chrissidwells1.bsky.social this evening. Dropping now in podcatchers everywhere. 😊 shows.acast.com/cycling-lege...

Lucinda staat in Brand! 🇳🇱 #UCICXWC

'An exciting step forward' – Scott returns to the WorldTour with NSN Cycling, as Factor leaves former Israel-Premier Tech Swiss brand signs 'multi-year sponsorship' with revamped team

It’s going to be a season of “NSN - formerly known as Israel-PremierTech”, isn’t it? #CyclingBlueSky #NotStartupNation

Treasonous podcast listening stats from Spotify

Don’t let on to Sidwells, whatever you do. 😬

Ooh, I’ll fix that! He was a bit ethereal in the mix, wasn’t he? 👻

I’ve fixed it and republished the episode, with Chris restored to all his original Dolby Atmos Campagnolo Super Record Technicolor glory.

Finally getting to Canyon//SRAM’s tenth anniversary special. Mad to think the team’s lineage actually goes back to Specialized Lululemon and Telekom/T-Mobile before that, some 20+ years ago. 👍 #CyclingBlueSky

We were kinda meaning road - I’ve been talking cross for a month now. We did have a more detailed chat about the Euros planned but got derailed! 😂

Pat’s 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. I’m already down a Carlton frame number rabbit hole. 🤓#CyclingBlueSky

Chuffed to see Demi back to winning ways. 🇳🇱🇪🇺

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. 😊

My first posting as a very junior civil servant was a secondment to the NMS HR department. So long ago that it was called ‘Personnel’ then. 🤣

“Monsieur 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.”

“Naaah….”

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. 🤣

.@massivewagons.bsky.social are always brilliant live but Friday’s 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. 😂

That’s it sealed then 👍

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 🤣. #CyclingBlueSky

At least 🤣

An hour on the turbo has been scientifically proven* to equate to 4 hours on the road.

Sleeper - Sale Of The Century (Video) YouTube video by SleeperVEVO

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 Sleeper’s first 2 albums.

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