    Really should do some work on my Bonneville, need more time. Still regret selling my old one, it''s not much more complicated than a bicycle.

    WFH in the garden - lovely. Taken the opportunity to substitute the office 4pm booze trolley on a Thursday with my own cocktail. Tom Collins today, as it's a bit warm.

    Not so easy to do in the city. 😉

    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    But not THE city.
    Also, confused. Thought you had fields out back.

    Grew up in a village. Ended up living and working in London for 8 years. Bought a shoebox in the centre of Cambridge.

    Wish I could do the same studying, but too many distractions.

    Ah. Got confused about your current situation and timescales on the other thread.

    Back on track. Booking a week off work in July and a week off work in August, both coinciding with heatwaves.
    My next week off work starts Monday 12th September FYI.

    Watching the European Swimming champs in Rome. It's being held in an open air pool. Looks so much nice than some anonymous indoor venue.

    Yep, love outdoor pools, it's a completely different thing. Smashing tree's in the background.

    Surprised it isn’t being integrated into the multi sport Euros that are currently ongoing

    Probably because FINA make the UCI look organised and competent.

    My newly fitted MTB dropper seatpost.
    New toys for the bike/s are always nice but typically they offer gains that are either minor, nuanced or placebo.

    Turns out a dropper post fundamentally opens a Pandora’s box of enhanced mtb riding.
    Tonked down stuff I’d been too chicken to go down previously and proper pushing the bike with new abandon on technical sections.

    Yer i remember my first time too. From gimmick to game-changer in about 100m of trail...
