Bought two new pairs of work shoes on Friday. Encouraged by the salesman to go smaller than the size I usually go for. Two days in and I’m in agony, hobbling about. Will be revisiting the shop tomorrow with a pleading ‘have mercy’ look in my eyes.

Inaugural Ashlyns Festival today.

Excellent interview with Michael Broadwith on his recent record-breaking ride from Land’s End to John O’Groats. Lots of detail here.

Album Club #89.

Caught up with the F1 last night. The ‘fake scenery’ graphics are getting to be a bit too much. Feels like they are messing with a sense of authenticity, which can’t be a good thing for a sporting event.

Stuart Mann’s marathon running blog is always such a great read. He has an excellent style, full of facts and humour. Stuart recently ran the Gaborone marathon (his 189th!) and it was a costly one…

💿 Album Club #88 is just what the doctor ordered. Loving it.

So that’s where he’s been Haydn.

Just bumped into Michael Broadwith on the way to the station; great to see him recovering from his incredible ride. The @endtoend2018 Twitter stream has lots of great pics and links, including this lovely video which brought a tear to my eye!

Well, that got my attention.

Another write-up of Michael Broadwith’s record-breaking LEJOG ride, this time on the excellent Cycling Uphill blog.

Great write-up on Michael Broadwith’s record-breaking cycle from Land’s End to John O’Groats this weekend.

Heartfelt Father’s Day card from the boys this morning.

Good morning London!
