Swapped from crew to rider on the weekend and rode my Fargo with @CRCondors pals on dreamy gravel forestry tracks in Grizedale, little Langdale lanes, rocky trails, bonkers bridleways, and swooping singletrack.

A full day teaching on Friday - Charlotte and Vicky had gathered NINE women & non-binary mechanics from across the country to teach at the festival. Still have to remind myself that I'm one of them, and it highlighted again how radical the @BrokenSpokeCoop training pathway is.

Incredible weekend in the Lake District teaching mechanics and riding gravel in the sun with friends at Sisters in the Wild's Summer Gathering. I've not been in an all(150)woman space like this before and wasn't prepared for quite how much of a beautiful difference it made.

#plussize twitter question - when a brand announces that they're making extended sizing, what do you want to see in their messaging?

Mountains & climate change, two of the things I spend most of my time thinking about. Thanks to @davidjlintern for commissioning this piece!

@mc_spyke @reeboka14 @BikeBizOnline Happy to! Though I know women who are full-time mechanics rather than dabble like me 😄

One of the biggest barriers to folk continuing to cycle is not knowing how to fix their bike when something goes wrong; and one of the best ways to keep your bike safe to cycle and running smoothly is regular maintenance. Book onto Bike Mechanics 101: buff.ly/3j3O9Qv

Fixed a puncture on my bicycle tyre in 15 mins 💪 getting slightly less mechanically garbage. Slowly.

@KEYoung29 Ohhh that's amazing!! I've never seen an owl in the wild - was it near here?

Went cycling this morning and heard a rustling sound - a red kite was chilling on the fence right next to me and took off with a heavy swoop and we traveled in the same direction for a second and it was amazing. This probs isn't interesting without pics but it was SO PRETTY 🦅

Sometimes this feels like a bit of a taboo subject, but here's a post about how much it cost me to walk the GR10 this summer.
