Weather's turned to shit again so it's time to look at those summer alpine vids and dream of next year.

Here's @tmevans chasing me down a run somewhere in the porte du soleil

I don't commute anymore so have to live vicariously through other people's commutes.

Props to the male rider in olde London towne who told my quite large and intimidating looking Serbian cycle buddy this morning that "Mate, I don’t mean anything bad but your bib shorts are almost transparent!"

My mate has a great sense of humour and couldn’t stop laughing.

I’m lucky enough to be in Seville this week, a zillion places to eat but any recommendations?

H mate, I have a spare chesty mount and GoPro that you are free to borrow. I'm just off for the weekend though and not back until Monday and would prefer if you collect from KT17. Give me a shout next week and I will be happy to help.

A continuation of their ongoing anti-cycling rhetoric. Ignore it; it's bullshit.

Ahem…scroll up

The struggle is real

cool

Never ridden there but here's a few to pick from

Pic below and I note it also includes a Heuchera, a few different varieties of Sedum, a trachycarpus, a Hottentot fig, a few Sempervivum varieties and some smaller alpines that you can't see in the pic but are around the top of the row of large stones on the right that provide a different level to the garden.

yup I half dug out a grassed front garden for car parking (sorry) and converted the other half to a gravel garden. I really like it and have planted it up with lots of grasses, a large dracena in a large pot, large pebbles and other drought loving plants.

Will nip upstairs and take a pic out of the window and add it to here in a moment.

Just in case anyone else fancies visiting all 160 MacDonald's in Greater London some bloke on Twitter has mapped out a route for you and visited them all. It's 466km long.

I'm going to the British Museum this afternoon, anyone want anything?

Yeah I’ve just read up on it too. Totally unsurprising really. Classic gaslighting

Spesh Enduro FSR 2001 with early noughties camera quality too.

Currently in bits in my garage but it's unlikely to ever be built up again as all the pivot bearings are shot.

It couldn't be another recent purchase by a property developer could it?

Naughty, naughty, naughty

I was in Cornwall recently, the place was full of it

I may even collect some of these interesting vampire chillies, some of which are growing upside down. (Hand in there for scale only although seems to have also affected the colour correction).

Just been out harvesting. I'm looking forward to tonight's dinner of errr... runner beans, overgrown cornichons and plums.

As Winston Churchill famously said “You can’t believe everything that you read on the internet”

Handlebar mounted BBQ??

I watched ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’ last night, what a great film. It’s like a Chinese version of the Matrix and has a great story and even better cinematography. I didn’t recognise Jamie Lee Curtis either until my wife pointed her out.

Top tip; when you climb the Croix de Fer don't forget on the way back down to Bourg d'Oisins to take the turn off to the Col du Glandon and bag two climbs for the price of one (stock pix off the internet).

Damn indeed, I only got back two weeks ago and am already pining for the fjords.

My buddy who drove us is heading back down to Annecy tomorrow for his 2-week annual hols with his wife and daughter but I know he is taking his bike and will hit up some of the climbs again.
