Watching the race highlights today with all the comms and telemetry, I think every other tour should have a “stage du brutal” harkening back to the origins of the tour. A minimum of 200 miles, one big climb and descent and no comms other than “man down” or “I’ve got a technical” with a night finish ...

There’s always one show off

Friday, finished a night shift this morning, bit of gardening on zombie day and an early night.
Saturday, 12hr day shift at work, might be lazy and take the motorbike in.
Sunday, maybe a BBQ, defo a beer or two and a lazy day with Mrs M.....possibly some MTB.

It's like you worked really hard to find a bike thats been serially abused..........

Properly parched “Sarf Dahns” commute with a howling tailwind (in the main).

6 mile walk/roll home in 30C temps after the split link decided to escape on the road bike. Got home desperate for a shower and the bloody water was off due to another SE Water fuck up.

Don't talk to me about getting software corrected or improved.......

The last firewall update our supplier did locked us out of our network for over 3 hours. Luckily nobody called us for a life saving event. The idiots did both the online server and the hot standby at the same time.

We want a ...

He was jolly cross about his rear wing failing to close (again). The disgusted toss of the steering "wheel" out of the car and the stomp across the gravel was top temper tantrum.

Tubeless roulette on the commute this morning. An old repair (which was a nasty puncture) let go twice on the way to work. Tyre only dropped 10ish psi though. Just very messy.

Friday, Dog walk, trip to the dump, watching the F1 and then an MTB ride.
Sat and Sun, 2 x 12hr days at work, currently wondering how much of a car crash our Trainee will make of it. Going on this weeks current level of Emergency Switch Offs for troubled people/dickheads visiting my railway it could ...

Talking to LBS owner , Goboa who had a combined motor/gearbox unit on show are also doing a new motor that will fit Shimano EP8 motor mounts. More power and torque along with more energy dense batteries that fit Shimano patterns. Whether you can mix and match between both manufacturers I don’t know ...

I think C5 are doing high lights.

Bloody rubbish!

Picked this drill screw up about 1.5 miles from home. Tyre instantly flat as it punctured the rim tape as well. Slow walk home, tyre now patched with leyzyne mushroom patch and rim tape removed. Wheel now drying in the conservatory after I washed tubeless gunk out ...

Hopefully fixed the creaky front end of the Curtis by tightening up the handlebar stem bolts. Freshly waxed chain put on the road bike as well.

This popped up on my Facebook feed from 11 years ago. Our first dog, Chewie. He loved a race and was bloody fast on singletrack. Fucks given.....ZERO!

Nice ride into Friston Forest that turned into an absolute beasting on every climb by Mrs M on the Levo of Doom.
