This is now by far my most read and commented post. My farewell to telly.

Liège is beautiful. Don't believe what you read (except this - believe this)

The latest NSF is ALL about Pog - except when we talk about Glastonbury Tor. @Andymcgra joins me in my living room to talk about his latest, very fine book.

Just to be a contrarian (and because I hate it so much) I have decided to put my Substack prices UP for Black Friday and perhaps beyond.

Look at that collection. That's almost a decade of cycling history - dating back to 2018, when all 3 Grand Tours were won by British riders, and Pog wasn't even a thing.
It’s here!! Proudly added to the library, looking forward to working my way through this. @nedboulting.bsky.social @cyclingalmanack.bsky.social

Thank you - loads of you have done this, and left amazing comments. Really kind.
If you enjoyed the Accidental Tour-ist, then perhaps you might put your ballot paper in the digital box? I'd be enormously grateful. I mean, there's bigger things in the word than this. But the really teeny tiny things also matter (to me).
