Brilliant - signed up.

Always thought cycling shared with cricket the curious feature that one can listen to someone talking about what is going on (like TMS) and that is perhaps even better than watching it.

The TdF is after all even longer than a Test Match.

Drowning Doesnโ€™t Look Like Drowning Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.
