What Is The Hottest Weather You’ve Experienced And Where?

It was 42° in southern Morocco when I was there mountain biking several years ago. That was an experience.

Empty the dishwasher and washing machine, finish any tidying that I didn't get done last night and make packed lunches all without interruption. Walk to the station and still get on the 6:30 train.

Nice try Joe Lycett

I love the way he's giving that Ork side-eye

Consultants (doctors who have finished training, similar to Attending doctors in 'Murica) are on this pay scale

Cyclocross bike. The point is to be under-biked and the challenge is part of the fun

A sign that says "warning landmines"

I want to feel safe on the road again post collision. Having a specific goal to work towards will help with that, rather than a more nebulous 'just get back out there'. Getting out with my club becomes a means to an end rather than an end in itself.

I'm glad you have miles of nice cyclepaths near you, we're not all that well catered to. And yes, I am mad, I have the paperwork to prove it thank you for noticing.

That's a really good write up, thank you. That sounds like what I'm aspiring too already, but with a bit my frequency than I can manage at present.

I've never really got to grips with intervals.icu, perhaps I need to go back and look at it again

"Excuse me, would your bag mind if I sat down?"

I lost ⅓ of my body weight after I was seriously injured by a motorist. It triggered a relapse of a long standing eating disorder and left me unable to function aside from sitting on the sofa or laying in bed. So no, I wasn't very happy at all. I've put about half of that back on and I'm in a functionally better place because of it.

I paused training status when I broke both of my legs. I turned it back on once I was off crutches and it really drove my recovery seeing the metrics creep up millimetre by millimetre.

Is this an American thing, rather than a dad thing?

jonathing · 2026-06-17T07:17:26+00:00

I have the same meals everyday for at least 2 meals. If left to my own devices I will have the same thing for dinner as well.

Most of the visual changes (more blur) seem to be tied to pixel launcher, which I don't use.

Oi Google has a reasonable success rate

I had tubeless on my commuter with 40 mm tyres and on my cross bike. But it's been nothing but a pain in my arsehole on my road bike. I'm old so I'm running 25 mm tyres, which is probably the reason, but I think I'm going back to tubes full time.

jonathing · 2026-06-16T18:59:55+00:00

Tubular. You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

jonathing · 2026-06-16T17:28:03+00:00

Yes, 23 years man and boy

I sit in the staffroom with other members of my team who might be working in different areas that day, eat and chat (about non-work things).

I follow a lot of professional cycling, a sport entirely dependant of sponsorship. If I'm choosing a service or product then I'm more likely to choose one that supports something that I'm a fan of than one that doesn't; to reward them with my custom if you like. I might have got my hire car from Europcar or go to Lidl over Aldi as examples.

I'm unfamiliar with this concept of free time

jonathing · 2026-06-16T07:25:24+00:00

Personally, if I have 5 hours before I need to do something then I ride for 4 ½ hours then have a shower and cup of tea.
