We are riding LEJOG to remember @TimMcKenna01 who tragically took his life earlier this year. We wanted to do a ride he would have loved in a way he would have done himself: plenty of stops, lots of food, & good beer. You can support/donate here: https://t.co/aQV8BLYwp0

I started writing a book in 2021 and have never finished it. Perhaps one day I will. In the meantime, I'm publishing the chapters (the finished ones) on my website. Here's the next one: the story of when I cycled the Three Peaks with my brother-in-law. https://t.co/oWDhQuwQZ3

It's on 29th Oct at Edinburgh Quaker Meeting House at 6.45pm. If you live in Edinburgh or nearby, pls come along and share widely. While it's heartbreaking to have said goodbye to Tim, we want to continue his legacy, by sharing stories of cycling and mental health.

I didn't realise, it's #WorldMentalHealthDay. Tim was an absolute top bloke. He was also extremely open and honest about his struggles. His story resonated with so many people. It's so important to speak about mental health, if only to help others.

It was #WorldSuicidePreventionDay2025 on Wednesday and I was thinking about Tim all day. If he were still here, he'd surely have posted something honest and inspiring. I wanted to do the same but it's not so easy when your friend has gone. So instead here's just a lovely memory.

I'm a pro at stopping brakes squeaking if they are normal V-brakes with concave/vex washers. Not sure these will toe in! Wondering how possible it might be to keep the callipers and add new blocks/washers so I can get the angle right. Anyone tried this successfully?

Low blow from Labour. Big News. The Sun once ran an article about how to make your boobs bigger (and of course we all know in no way did THE SUN write the article in a sensationalist way πŸ™„) Is this seriously the party of grown ups we once thought it was?!
