I'm watching Bookish, and it's delightful. Lots of fiddly bits about.

My guitar lessons continue, yet I still don't believe the human hand is capable of making a D major chord.

I'm watching The Snow Girl on Netflix, which is an excellent Spanish mystery show about a missing child over the years, but within the first 10 seconds of the fifth episode, you immediately realize the police were morons. I really am super interested in how they resolve this.

When we head off for a multi-week bike tour I have the stuff to fix everything on both of our bikes โ€” once. Last year my wife's STI stopped shifting; was able to get 3 gears working. I also like to have stuff to give out to other cyclists. Saved a guy once with new brake pads; he was one happy dude.

I hope the Montmartre finish is permanent. Just wow even in the rain. #tdf2025

Looks like a truck ran over the rider, and all that was left was the jersey.

This is some boring racing. The strength performance is great, but this final climb today, not so much.

This bike is anything but inconspicuous.

Have to stop watching if Truck Nuts is pulling for much longer.

He stole 1 stage in Giro d'Italia from del Toro for a career 1 GT stage win. I laugh and I am now happy.

This is as common as clouds in the sky here in Germany. Used all the time, but only when someone is genuinely excited for something.

You can't see the hundreds of cyclists riding through the stop sign because they are all wearing black and thus invisible.

Simmons found that the breakaway lacked cohesion. "Some grade A cat-five tactics today," he said. "But it's how it is, Wellens did a super strong ride. In the end, I think there was only one situation for today and that was it be super hard and a really strong rider get away in the final."
"This morning, we had a few differences of opinion on what was going to happen in the stage," he added. "And unfortunately, I had to spend a bit of energy controlling in the start for something that probably was never going to happen. But you have to do what the radio says." Simmons' sports director Steven De Jongh suggested Velo there were no conflicting plans as Simmons was allowed to go in big groups from the start.

Ugh. Why? Simmons gets caught lying, naturally. So stupid. Just stop talking.

Probably not going to find so many riders willing to work with him after this. He's TOTALLY sure in his career he never had some advantage? This is the stuff internet trolls go deep on. Finding some race clips of him hiding behind a team car. It's coming. Sore loser. #TDF2025

Two Tour de France cyclists in yellow and black jerseys push uphill through thick red smoke as fans crowd the roadside, waving flags and holding flares. Spectators in polka-dot gear and yellow shirts cheer passionately, creating a dramatic and intense race atmosphere.

They should install safety flares instead.

Best moments of cycling in 2025:

1. The Wout 'look back' to Simon Yates in the Giro d'Italia
2. Alaphilippe stealing the sign for the Tourmalet descent
3. Amstel Gold finish
4. ...

Wout, a supporter, and Julian with a sign that said โ€œWout you donโ€™t know it yet but weโ€™re getting marriedโ€

Wout, a supporter, and Julian with a sign that said โ€œWout you donโ€™t know it yet but weโ€™re getting marriedโ€

from the VLAB IG, the sign Alaphilippe snatched said โ€œWout you donโ€™t know it yet, but weโ€™re getting marriedโ€. VLAB invited her to the team area today to get a photo with both Wout and Julian

the Tour de France is the best goddamn thing in the universe

I like Remco as a rider and as a personality, but someone should lock him in a media training prison until he stops waving the camera moto away.
