Home again after a 5-day trip to France & Belgium with four of my oldest friends from university.

It was hilarious. We're still the exact same dickheads we were 36 years ago, just older and a bit broken. That didn't stop 3 of them cycling 170 miles or so over three days, including multiple cobbled climbs in Belgium.

One important thing to note though: lads, tell your male friends that you love them. Tell all your friends, but especially the blokes. They need to hear it.

Lime Kiln Lane looks most like a lane where it leaves Pin Mill Brow and is wide and cobbled. It once had lime klins on it, thus the name.

Long disappeared streets reappear in the woods of the Lower Medlock Valley as their cobbles are uncovered and street signs are placed to mark their former locations

4 months to Roubaix 2026. The wait is long. These #cobbles are in my #hometown , not in France.
Last pic of the year 2018 is a #blackandwhitephoto

Today I rode the full #GroeneGordelroute around #Brussels and wow, what a fantastic premium track. Excellent signage, wouldn't have needed the GPS. So much green, and wrt #cobbles, peek #Flandern. Fun was had. #Cycling

Edit: Link to the tourist info https://www.radfahreninflandern.com/gruener-guertel-route I came by car and started from PR near the #Spotterplatform
