Just had a pretty solid battle for the arm rest on my flight to Cyprus. Neither of us gave an inch and now I’m tired from holding my ground for an hour. Kudos to my opponent. She was tough
Being a cyclist and part of a world class Team Time Trial team on a day like today is like being a car driver and getting to have a go in an F1 car, albeit maybe a bit tougher!

We are not the sum total of our greatest mistakes. My heart goes out to @stevesmith49 who has given me so much cricketing joy over the years. He is also a thoroughly decent human being. I stand by him and will be here upon his return. #SteveSmith
I don’t know why people shed their pride on long-haul flights. Ask people to endure a stopover and they turn into saliva-hocking, hacking-coughing, nose-blowing, shoes-off-feet-up-on-seats, face-stuffing, duty-free-macadamia-buying, farty ferals. Pull yourselves together people.
We have an answer in the “How many SX starts does Mike LaRocco have for the all-time record?” caper. It’s officially 227. The 228 and 229 numbers that have been spotted were counting US Open for some reason. So, 227. Reed has 221. G’day, mates.
