@Pinarello_Q36_5 Chapeau. I thought last year's event was a good watch but yesterday's was epic. Impressive work by Tom and the team.

A first-ever Monument podium for the team, with Tom Pidcock taking an incredible 2nd place.

@hjwakerley Adelaide Hills; twisty roads, nice weather and an early start seems to appeal to riders and those with a want to express their 'enthusiasm' for their vehicle!
I think this was a safe choice to park my I20N next to.

I need to get a cycling camera, not to take evidence of bad driving but so I can prove to @hjwakerley and the Twiterrati all of the interesting cars I've been overtaken by!

@LUDENClassics I love them but boy must they feel a bit wide on a UK B road?

Still do very much like this shape R35. Just a shame they attract naff reg plates which always seem to have fallen off of the front...

One for my UK mates…..just ran full face into a spider web big enough to stretch across this width of trail 😂

What car would you trust to get you to 300,000 miles (482,803 km) ?

@retrobike_c16 Got FWDd an email chain today which showed the lack of clarity was understood their side in December, and there's a string of emails just saying "I'll raise a comment". How about we just talk? Please? Hello!?!
English
@BrokenBennett lol. Spreadsheets at 20 (business days) paces. Filled in by an entity with no responsibility but a vested interest in making comments
What could possibly go wrong?

@GBbooze @retrobike_c16 My daily commute was up that hill and back on a Friday for lunch!

Fagan's, City Centre, #Sheffield 🍻
The pub is named after Joe Fagan, who was the landlord from 1947 to 1985, becoming Tetley's longest-serving licensee. He was a bomber pilot in World War II, and the inn sign shows him with a Lancaster bomber behind him.

@retrobike_c16 WTaF? Degrease that and buy a bottle of drip wax. No more dirty hands.

It was Route d’Occitanie stage 3. Michael Valgren is pushing the limit during the descent trying to show his team what he can do before the Tour de France. And in a split second, he went down.
The crash was extremely violent: he went off the road down a slope, requiring help from race staff to reach him. The injuries? Horrific, career-ending.
Fractured pelvis, dislocated hip, torn ACL, damage to the MCL, and severely damaged meniscus in his knee.
At first, doctors expected a relatively quick recovery—around three months. But the reality was very different. Months passed with little improvement, for the first six months he couldn’t properly pedal. He feared his career might be over, saying the moment he realised this possibility “was when I cracked and started to cry.”
But he still didn’t give up, and EF also didn’t give up on him. They put him in their development squad of EF Education-EasyPost temporarily so he could race smaller events and rebuild form gradually.
And after days, months, and years of hard work today he did it. He won at the World Tour level. Chapeau Michael, you are a hero. 🫡

Please be honest, I’m trying to prove a point!
Would you report your neighbor if you knew they were mistreating their dog? 🐶 🐕

@retrobike_c16 Resolution of comments through registers rather than technical discussions between parties is also so ineffective. Can we not talk? Ultimately I want the solution to meet the project needs and that's surely a shared interest!?!
English
@BrokenBennett Yes, every single time. And the stock client side response is not to recognise the occasional need for change & therefore mechanisms to manage it, but to layer up certification & amendment process in so much bureaucracy to try & prevent it
Costs of this are ludicrous
English
@retrobike_c16 What I'm seeing is designs being undertaken by those that can't recognise change, let alone manage it and organisations subsequently burning through time/cost. Project success seems massively compromised plus it's exhausting.
English
@BrokenBennett Many have tried. One big barrier is kickback against ‘Fresh off the boat Poms’
Standardised contract forms, and more collaborative forms, would massively improve outcomes
As they did in UK for about 20 years until people forgot the purpose

@tom550993 I did actually once put every Suzuki Swift Sport on Auto trader into a spreadsheet to understand cost vs. age, mileage etc. My wife pretended not to know me. We actually bought a Mini Cooper D (the first she saw).
