Me neither, but I like it. It's a long form blog, basically. But also a community.

"I know for a fact that Alejandro Valverde used to race them both, dashing from Spain across the border in a helicopter and then jump into the Algarve peloton with 35 kilometres to go."

Completed the famous Lewisham - Chelsea - Sutton - Lewisham ride today, having gone to visit a relative in the wrong Royal Marsden Hospital. That is lots of London. Thank you to the very many car drivers who gave me space and waited behind with patience. You were by far the majority.

This is lovely.

Just reading Ulysses - and Joyce’s reference to “Ayenbite of Inwyt” (a 14th century Middle English text). Ayenbite means “againbite”. Which in turn translates as “remorse”. I’d never considered the etymology of that word before - re-chewing. Wow. Makes total sense. That is just what it is.
