Braved the wind and rain to end up with a lovely evening with Becky and Lili at @spooktonbrewco.bsky.social and @thatbeerplace.co.uk
Some fabulous beers at 2 of Chester's best independent bars.
Cracking sunset on the way home...

And so the Vuelta final stage is cancelled.
Israeli premier tech refused to leave the race after massive pro-palestine protests every day.
A small victory against a genocidal country.
A sad loss for road cycling tho.

The latest Banksy was quickly hidden away by the courts for some reason...🤔

Yesterday's daily peaceful protest disrupting La Vuelta in the neutral zone.
Israel still racing...

Cracking day yesterday cycling most of the way up Mont Ventoux for Le Tour. Too hot and late to make the top but ace watching the race go by in the trees.
Ben Healy so close to another win.
Nice to catch G with Captain America!
The crowds were amazing and great fun! 😁

After Labour's decision to proscribe Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation I felt obliged to join them at today's demo in London.
Powerful and peaceful.. Then the police piled in.
Welcome to authoritarian Britain!

Awesome strawberry moon tonight

Becky celebrating her divorce day in Sheffield Belgian style!
Think she's forgotten she's delivering training in the morning....😂

Can't believe what I just witnessed in the Giro. Simon Yates from third place finds over 5 minutes to win on the last day.
One of the greatest comebacks in the history of road cycling.
Chapeau!

On the banks of the Dee...
The irony of chopping down all those trees to form enclosures to plant a load of saplings.
Probably 10-20 years before it becomes carbon neutral.
And assuming that they are watered to even survive the current dry spell!
Far better to plant the whole field or rewild it.

Looking forward to seeing Chester FC legend Craig Mahon back at the Deva tomorrow.
Hopefully allowing us the 3 points!
He may not be wearing the blue wig though as it's back in my cupboard...

Yep non league football is shit... Chester awaydays

Marvelous day on the train to Hebden Bridge and a walk up Hardcastle Crags.
And smashed after superb beers post walk 🤪

Great work by Chester Cycling Campaign.
I think...🤔😂

Might have had a few beers...
Sod it. Merry Crimbo from Chester! 😂

Chester Santa dash to landfill today ☹️
