We're on telly again, at least in the UK. 4pm, tomorrow (Tuesday) channel 4. I doubt there will be any cycling, but you'll definitely get to see my happy smiling face, so what's not to like? If you're not in the UK you'll need to do clever VPN stuff or wait till it's syndicated in your area.

Look what appeared in my fb feed today. There are very few pics of me racing, and even fewer of me in road races because i mostly rode the track. Ok so the photo is really of the guy on my wheel and my head has been cut off, but i was still pleased to see it. The bike is a 531Pro Brian Rourke with a Super Record groupset, and Im riding in the blue/red colours of the long defunct Concorde RCC.

For #throwbackthursday here's a shot I've never posted before of the very weird station at Latour-de-Carol high in the Pyrenees on the French Spanish border. I went there via the highest railway in France to start a mostly off road tour in the Spanish Pyrenees. It's a huge place which was once an important railway junction but now it's like the land that time forgot.

I've had a bit of a break from social media, but dont worry, nothing has happened other than my other half's food business taking off which has kept us both busy. My new years resolution was to get back on insta, so here I am. This old milestone has been restored since i last rode past and it's rather nice i think. As you can see I'm still struggling around the hills ony old fixed wheel, some things never change!

These iconic avenues of plane trees are becoming less common, sometimes because of disease, sometimes because careless car drivers crash into them. Fortunately there are still a lot of them in our forgotten corner of France.

I often ride past these ramshackle wooden barns and sometimes post pictures of them. But I've only just realised that most of them were built as tobacco drying sheds. Tobacco isn't grown here these days so we're just left with a load of weird decaying barns.

For #throwbackthursday here's a shot from my 2009 ride in Kyrgyzstan. Something I always like in ex Soviet countries are the random public monuments you encounter on the road. Sometimes the purpose is obvious, it might be the most extravagant bus stop you've ever seen, a statue or maybe a sign. But sometimes it's completely impenetrable, at least to me, like this huge arch randomly placed on a road in the middle of nowhere. I'm sure it does have some significance really, but to me, a foreign bike tourist rolling through, it was like a mad apparition in the wilderness.

After 2 weeks in the UK with no cycling (and almost no social media either) my legs aren't exactly on fire. First ride out was a bit of a struggle with the gear I usually ride feeling unmanageably big, and the cold damp weather didn't help. But I've been here many times before and so I know that it'll be fine after a couple of rides 💪

It's international women's day, so here's a picture of Beryl Burton. I hardly know where to start with her achievements. I reckon that she's the greatest female cyclist ever, but it goes way beyond that. Is she the greatest woman ever in any sport? I think so. She even has a strong case for being the best person, regardless of gender to participate in any sport at all. And she did this at a time when women were even less accepted in cycling than they are now, and when little support was available. Burton was an amateur throughout her long career and worked on a farm. Truly inspirational.

I woke up this morning to a very nice surprise - I've just passed 5000 followers 😃. It's quite a milestone and I'm really grateful to everyone who's made it happen 😍😍.

Normally i ride a fixed wheel on road in winter, but today was a test ride on my tourer after fitting some swanky #veloorange mudguards/fenders and some fat #continetal grand prix 5000 in 32mm flavour. All good apart from a tiny mudguard rattle which was easily fixed. I've wanted to do this for ages, but I had to use up my massive supply of part worn 25s first. As expected the 32s are a much nicer ride.
