First cycle of 2025 - the classic combination of fair weather cyclist and β€œall the gear with no idea” - clearly what was called for was a 30k cycle. It is of course all uphill for the last 4k! With 2K left muscles were cramping that I never knew existed! πŸ˜‚ πŸš²β˜€οΈ

I see we have claims and counterclaims about the β€œprotection of free tuition fees” in Scotland. Can I please point out that you’re only talking about full-time undergraduates and once again forgetting about part time students! @scottishlabour.bsky.social @thesnp.bsky.social
