Just another MAMIL. To be found slowly pedalling around South Oxfordshire. I'm occasionally allowed to leave the county on good behaviour.
Ugh. That behaviour is just sad.

I see they are cracking-on with the new bridge over the railway at Milton too. Lots of significant changes underway.

My Panaracer GravelKing SKs in 43mm (not the Slicks!) have been pretty much “fit and forget”. I’d happily do an Audax on them, or take on some gravel. To the point where I need to check what condition my spare emergency tube is in, as haven’t needed one for quite a while.

I’m looking at this and thinking:
1) This should be in the Cyclocross World championship course and
2) The bottom brackets will be wrecked!

That’s a form of torture, but it’s probably better than what’s on the telly!

Must have been an “easy” run as it’s all flat there? 😀

Did they invoke some sort of break clause? Sounds like a way to lose £££ unless they’ve got something more lucrative lined up!

I find the whole “ritual” of being herded through the airport/airline system to be rather soul-destroying. The only reason I put up with it is the “promise” of something interesting beyond the Arrivals gate.
Hope you have/had a good flight.

That’s very handy (and secure). My office has some sort of secure storage in the basement, but I’m too far away to make use of it.

I need to use that excuse when I get home late after adding some unplanned miles to my ride. To counter the inevitable “Where the hell have you been?” greeting 😀
