I feel Donny's pain, I am sure he is talking about people who dawdle at the check out at Lidl after they have bought their shopping who mean that you, next in line, struggle to pack away your shopping at the required light speed

This is a great shot, but as an aside - how long will it be before he paints his desk gold?

I have just been to see a great talk with @friebos.bsky.social interview Mark Cavendish about his new book. A great evening and I am looking forward to reading his latest book.

I am just saying that a while ago that there was a drunken moment between these two. Possibly at an office party.

That’s weird because they also phoned me and said that.

I rode the Carrefour de l’arbre a couple of weeks ago and it was really wet and muddy but even so my bike wasn’t too bad, if you zoom in you can see some mud but not too much. I therefore conclude that it’s not an AI deepfake. The defence rests its case. No further questions your Honour.

I have just watched this ladybird wriggle free from a spider’s web. It’s hard as nails. I am naming him Steve McQueen.

Following on from my post the other day about my elderly Irish neighbour calling me Ian for years, maybe I am Brit Ian? Maybe Kemi is fighting on my behalf. Sweet but misguided.

Several months ago I signed up for Ned Boulting’s Substack & paid for the 1923 level membership. As part of that, as well as his online writing we get handwritten postcards from where he is commentating and also I got this absolutely splendid birthday gift which is my very own box of cobbles. Lovely

That sounds good. My concern is that when I did my rides I literally had the cobbles to myself, particularly Mons en Pevele which I did when the sun was coming up (pictured). I think it will be very different with lots of people on the cobbles at the same time

I am just rewatching A Sunday in Hell, which was a documentary made about the 1976 edition of Paris Roubaix. The race was delayed by a protest by striking journalists and printers. And this is a reaction in one of the team cars. How little things change
