Day OFF during my #retirement #bikepacking tour on #Brompton because of heavy #rain .Many buildings here north of #Modena still show cracks from the 2012 #earthquake .27 dead, 400 injured, 45,000 homeless. Residents and #geoscientists concluded that the cause was #oil #fracking.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

🎧 escoitando The Cycling Podcast. Dixeron algo de que alguén botou un eucalipto atravesado na estrada :( Mira que nese programa, ou o 99% dos ciclistas do pelotón, simpatiza coa causa das protestas, pero atravesar eucaliptos non está ben :( Para min era unha alegría ver centos e miles de bandeiras palestinas durante toda La Vuelta, pero teño a sensación de que vai haber unha desgracia, sexa coa carreira sexa coas persoas que se manifestan.

‘Dinge, die mit M beginnen’ / ‘Things starting with M’ (Fotovorschlag)

Today’s #Fotovorschlag topic is about things starting with “M”. Both me and my wife quickly thought about “Mountains” and/or “Mountainbike”! And when I mentioned “Mountainbike”, we both immediately thought about this photo that I took when we did a bike and hike to the Schachenhaus a couple of years ago. I even wrote a blog post about it here in 2021! It’s a tour that I really want to do again […]

In other news my new shorts have finally been dispatched.

I’m keen to see how a company can use modern materials and pre-Lycra weaving machinery. One of the pleasures of the two leadership roles I had before this one was my interactions with the textiles people in my Faculty (we had everything from advanced non-wovens to traditional and computer controlled looms e.g., https://3dweaving.leeds.ac.uk/)… #cycling #textiles #wool #BikeTooter

Councillor 'fuming' over cycle safety plan change

"Plans included toucan crossings, cycling stop lines and changes to kerbs, with the work due to be paid for with part of £32m of funding provided by the Department for Transport.

However Graham Plant, Conservative councillor responsible for transport, decided to drop those elements of the plan at the end of July, on the basis that costs had risen."

The race is over, but the journey isn't. When the finish line is behind you and the PRs stop coming, how do you stay motivated? I've got some ideas.
