Evening out tonight at the Exeter Corn Exchange ๐Ÿ˜
I've got an audax this weekend and I'm trying to decide which bike to use. I dug the Zurigo out of the cobwebs todsy to see if it still works as it's the only one with mudguards and it's definitely mudguard weather now ๐Ÿค” #cycling #audax #bskycycling

Friday morning meet and greet face, holding back the lack of third breakfast disappointment but soldiering on regardless like a true professional
Some more autumn colours from an afternoon walk around town today ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿฟ #autumn
As I can't add videos in the same posts as still images, here's the panoramic view looking out over East Devon and Sidmouth from Fire Beacon Hill I took on yesterday's ride ๐Ÿ˜ #cycling #gravelbike #FireBeaconHill #Sidmouth #Devon

No correct aspect ratio upload to be found on YouTube, and I could be more rigorous about my editing, but I genuinely think this is some of the funniest 106 seconds in comedy history, and definitely in my top five Simpsons jokes.
A lot of people are getting excited over a double Alpe D'huez, but TBH, I'm about as excited over this tour as watching paint dry.
However, le Tour de France Femmes. Now that's worth getting excited about ๐Ÿคฉ
Itโ€™s been a busy day at VV HQ with @letourfr.bsky.social @letourfemmes.bsky.social route presentations. The stage routes have all now been processed and are available to the Teams on our VeloViewer WorldTour platform.

England has started work on its first Dutch-inspired cycle street

A cycle street gives priority to people cycling while still allowing access for motor vehicles. The street is part of one of the busiest cycle routes in Cambridge, used daily by 3,000 cyclists at peak times.

There's been another update on #skygate. That's 2 weeks since I rang up to cancel the first time.
They really are persistent but they'll have to do better than that to keep my custom.... #skyTV
Nature has 2 ways of dealing with large prey. Some creatures have muscles in the throat that crush their food. Others dislocate the jaw, so larger prey can go down. I'm not sure if kingfishers have either, but it would have gone down whole.
Yep, they turn it around to swallow it head first. Always head first.
3/3 Dropped down into the village, but the rain was on its way, so instead of going in for a coffee, I grabbed a cold drink and a cinnamon bun in a Spar shop ๐Ÿ˜‹ #cycling #gravelbike #bskycycling
2/3 I rode along East Hill Stips as far as Gittisham Combe, heading for Honiton to grap a coffee before I went home #cycling #gravelride #gravelbike #bskycycling
1/3 After postponing my audax yesterday, I decided on a shorter ride and ended up exploring Fire Beacon Hill, my local woods on the gravely one #cycling #gravelride #gravelbike #bskycycling
Went out in search of the sun on Monday. I rode the Taunton and Bridgwater canal to Maunsel locks and the planetarium walk #cycling #canaltowpath #theplanets #solarsystem
I'm not on the hilly one. It's on the back end of a week in Yorkshire, so I'll have had enough hills.
I managed to get out before the rain arrived and stayed dry. Decided today was as good as any to explore my local woodlands on the gravely one. I think i might be visiting more often now I have this bike ๐ŸŒณ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‚
Actually, it's 3 times. The weather on Sunday for the main event, it was the weather again on Monday. Today, I got ready, set off for the start in Tiverton, then I realised I'd left my bottles at home & ill prepared for a late dark finish I've postponed it again #cycling #audax #bskycycling ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ™„๐ŸŒฌ๐ŸŒง๐Ÿšดโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ‚

I decided to give the 100km a go this year as I'm not recovering from an infection like I was last year.
