Today i thought i would throw caution to the wind, and instead of watching chimp do #parkrun i'd join him. BUT with Jude! Jude pulls like a husky and gets super excited in crowds. We just about held it together and made it around uninjuried and still friends. #boxerdog

Just reminding you about my podcast, called The Way of the Runner. I don't have any click-baity clips to hand, but there are hours of in-depth chat in there, with people like Ronnie O'Sullivan, Eliud Kipchoge, Jasmin Paris etc etc. Check it out: https://t.co/JXu4M2o0EZ

Quad bike safari. What an epic day out. Leatherback turtle spotting, sand dune rallying and 65kph off road made chimp squirm. I now what to live in africa with a quad bike 🤣. Just finished my 2nd shower trying to get sand out of every orifice.

Perfect bike stand for when i dont want to tinker in the cold.

How you ever seen a tree on top of a spring? This only flows after heavy rain. My best guess is the tree grew over an outlet from field drains above. #trees #NatureBeauty

2nd CX race of the season for me today. Typical for me, in that it was a mud bath and my back killing me after half an hour. Still loads of fun though #cyclocross #cycling

Post work walk with Jude. Bliss

My turn to race today. 1st time competing in cyclo cross in the NWCCA league at Marls Pits. Bloody loved it. Even my family came and supported me #cyclocross #cycling

Stunning evening to be out. That time of the year again, when you race home before losing the light.

Cracking view! Almost pea soup. What happened to summer 😪

As an engineer who works in metric units, i cant describe the pain I suffer from overhearing my family measuring for new furniture in a combination of centimetres and inches.

[Andy Dobson @dobbyduvet]

Back to reality. No more sun or mountains. Just good English summer rain and back walking the Menace in the hills.

[Andy Dobson @dobbyduvet]

That's a week of riding in the alps complete. Bikes packed up and ready for home. Then I can start the maintenance that consists of at least - 2 new headset, 4 sets of brake pads (probably more), 1 rear hub service and finally a new rear mech. Definitely worth it.

Todays trip. To Switzerland and back via Avoriaz #mtb #morzine

[Andy Dobson @dobbyduvet]

Turns out the little turd has secretly been practising his jumps and now makes me look like a right amateur #morzine #mtb

[Andy Dobson @dobbyduvet]

Someone is super excited for his 1st alpine mtb day. He was 1st up, which never happens anymore and is marshalling everyone to get ready

Undoubtedly one of the most important videos we've* ever made.

Within the first minute, you'll be alarmed at the general public perception of the danger cyclists pose to them vs cars. It's incredibly enlightening, and shows how much needs to be done to change the way we all live.

•nothing to do with me, but a GREAT job by the team at GCN.

Plenty of medals for our Juniors at Towneley Park today.
