Wishing good luck to @pete@masto.hypertelia.com who is taking on the iconic 3 Peaks Cyclo-Cross race tomorrow. The 3 Peaks is a very extreme version of a cyclo-cross race. You can find plenty of videos about the race online. I think this one is pretty good. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EwQWSwqdVGc Race website: http://3peakscyclocross.org.uk/ Go Pete! #Cycling #BikeTooter #3PCX #CycloCross #CX

Are any of the cyclists here riding the Dunwich Dynamo this weekend? This is another year that I can't make the logistics work and so sadly I won't be riding. Have a great time if you are. Here's my gpx file of the route, if you need one: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/28157346 https://dunwichdynamo.org/ #Cycling #BikeTooter #DunwichDynamo

Yesterday, I realised that I know four people who have ridden in the Transcontinental Race. That was more than I expected. How many of these special/crazy people do you know? Let's only include those in real life (not on social media) and who would also say they know you. Including DNF riders but not DNS. Edit: It turns out that I know five people who have ridden the TCR. #TCR #TCRno12 #Cycling #BikeTooter

It was nice to see Tom Pidcock's demonstration of why stuff is called hardware. Because you can kick it. If you have SRAM components, you know what to do, eveyone. Or just buy Shimano π #Cycling #TDF2026 #SRAM

One of the Tour de France commentators, referring to Mathieu van der Poel, commented that in cyclocross, it's important to measure your effort. Nonsense. You ruin yourself getting to the first corner as fast as possible and then hang on for the next 50+ minutes π That's why we love it. #TDF #TDF2026 #Cycling #CX #CycloCross #Veldrijden #CrossIsComing

The Count of Monte Cristo is one of my favourite books. Alexandre Dumas&#39; story of revenge is wonderfully woven. Made into a superb new film a few years ago, starting tonight that film is serialised on the BBC. Recommended. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002t52f #BBC #TheCountOfMonteCristo
