I’ve been taken by surprise. I’m organising a cyclocross race on Saturday. I knew Cameron Mason 3X British Champion was coming, I thought to wave the finish flag & pose for pictures. No. Actually riding. 🤩 I’m course building Friday, hope it’s one of my good ones. 🙏 #crossiscoming #crossisboss

Riding a TT in the morning then coming back sorting out cyclocross gear for the afternoon. Pre season starts next week, #crossiscoming 360 stakes in the garden, if I had room I’d be setting my own course up. 😂 #cyclocross

Dang, those TT bikes are fast! My first ever TT this morning, road bike class, 29miles with a roundabout ½ way. I’m not fast, only 1 bike came by me before ½ way. Starting P1 thought I was going to get duffed up after 5mins. Enjoyed it tbf, impressed by the speed, deffo not buying a TT bike. 🙂

My hottest music take: Iron Maiden with Paul Di'Anno as lead singer could’ve & should’ve been one of the worlds most influential & revered Punk bands.

Post your hottest music take. Mine is New Order is better than Joy Division.

If you sang this who would be the person you’d think the parody was about? I'm your private chancer A chancer for money I'll do what you want me to do I'm your private chancer A chancer for money And any old Crypto will do

Entered a hilly road TT this weekend, road bike class, never done one before and…… starting first. Ahh, didn’t see that coming, no pacing against anyone else. What can possibly go wrong? 😬

Working wasn’t working found alternative flow.

Just want to say the only time I’ve ever felt at peace with the world is on a start line. Motorbike or bicycle when the flag drops / lights go out it’s a zen moment of clarity in my chaotic existence. Don’t need no diagnosis. This article hits a mark. www.bikeradar.com/advice/fitne...

I’ve been thinking about MotoGP street circuits. Liberty are mad keen on the idea. Basic issue is run off. Wide asphalt run of is fine for cars / F1 with their driver protection. Sucks for motorcycles. Which is why kitty litter still works, slows bikes & riders down when they separate.

Saw a group of female & male cyclists street riding this morning in Glasgow, looked to be from the Canadian Commonwealth Games team, which is all good & cool. Had a chuckle at their attire, full length bib tights, jackets & gillets. Guys it’s 19°C outside, this is peak BBQ weather for us. 😁

#crossiscoming Sooner every year 🙃

Lifting the back wheel of the ground & spinning the crank by hand to declare a stock e-cargo bike illegal. 🤦‍♂️ FFS! youtu.be/GoFU8a3r6jc?...

Today I made a throwaway comment but still thinking about it: The politics & cult of Grift. We have Griftians and Griftianity. Their BS is everywhere, cosseted by media barons & funded by opaque means, the so called men of the people. Call them out. Every single day. #Griftians #Griftianity

A little known fact about me is I’m a bicycle wheel bag collector. So few people knew this, I only found out myself in the last 5 minutes. 10 in that pile. 🫣

Question for the cyclists: Would you? I normally like white text on wheels but this bike is black with green logos. Not sure it will look right.

Crux 4 is still a great bicycle 🤘 #bikesky

Double feel good day, only went and took that KoM I was dreaming about. Was hoping for 2 seconds, did way better! 😁 Focusing on smooth lines, but didn’t have my glasses on, so probably went faster than intended since O couldn’t see 😂 #kom

Bicyclists: 6 seconds off taking a Strava KoM last night, whilst this isn’t news, at my age you make the little wins big. 🙂 3 linked woods sections with a nice drop at the end. Don’t care if I only have it for a day, but I am going to take that KoM. 😁 For the oldies 🤘

Humble brag time: I just went to my local bicycle library & donated a big box of spares. Wheels, tyres, brakes, discs, derailleurs etc. The guys were delighted, mothers coming into look at bikes with kids at the same time made me realise I’d made a good choice. Feeling quite pleased with myself 🙂

Thought I’d look at representation in the House of Lords: SNP - 0 NI Republican - 0 NI Unionist - 11 Plaid Cymru - 2 Greens - 2 Scot Labour- 24 Scot Conservative- no separate list, total 246 members. Scot Lib Dem, no separate list, 74 members. HoL is not representative at all. Games rigged.

Another Labour election loser whose principles melt away at the first chance of a job for life without any pesky voters to worry about.

No smoking or drinking to fund an alternative hobby for another year….. Lucky boy part 1,267.

Trump hot mic: “Wow all these people booing Gianni, they’re not being nice to him” Probably. #Boo

As England & Argentina meet again in the World Cup, is worth reflecting on the Scottish perspective again. I don’t make the etiquette rules on supporting your closest neighbours, sorry.

I don’t follow football. But as a Scott, it’s ingrained as to what the 3 best goals are in the history of football: 1. Archie Gemmill Scotland v Netherlands 1978. 2. Scott McTominay, Scotland v Denmark, 2025. 3. Diego Maradona, Argentina v England, 1986. No other answers are correct.

My partner has declared Andy Burnham looks like a muppet. Now every time he’s speaking on TV, I see his mouth move as a muppet mouth.

The Forth Bridges on a July Sunday morning.

No Glastonbury this year. The Corbynesta’s had a new chant sorted too: Oooooh Jonathon Count-Bin Oooooh Jonathon Count-Bin #binface

Seriously hope the joke candidate in Clacton loses his deposit. On a positive note, Count Binface is also standing. #teambinface

Just heard everyone’s best buddy Mitch McConnell has decided to run in the Clacton By Election to give Count Binface a serious challenger. Mitch says CBin shouldn’t just get a coronation. Fair point.

I’m imagining Trump in his lair just now planning a World Cup betting grift in his best gangster voice “Tell Lukaku his ass goes down in the 67th minute”

I’m delighted Scotland are boycotting the later stages of the World Cup.

Belgium, games rigged, forget the football, I suggest you challenge the USA to a duel, chose your weapon carefully: •Cyclocross • or mayonnaise.
