Honey fungus appears to be a fairly broad category. Are these likely to be edible or magical?

Ooops.

Our front lawn has suddenly sprouted dozens of something fungal

We’ve been here 25 years and never had anything like this before.

I hate the Royal family

Hard to disagree with this.

I think your first goal after finishing should be to have a week off and rest up completely. Use the time to think and plan what you really want to do; what you will really enjoy doing. But please rest. I am tired just watching your Strava.

but all have turned the opportunity down

I enjoy the fact that they describe it as an "opportunity".

I would prefer Conte to go to Tottenham where Levy will screw everything up rather than ManU where he could succeed.

Still very much in awe...

Massive season defining game tonight. The League Cup could be our route into Europe for next year.

Very well thanks. Hope all good with you too xx

There are too many to mention. You know who you are and I love you all and am grateful to you for everything you have done for me these past 13 years.

While time might not allow me to set out my litany of forum saints, there are a few who should be mentioned specifically.

Big Daddy Wayne, Dwayne and Fiddy come immediately to mind. Sorely missed but never forgotten.

Can I be allowed a boast post. I hold one and only one Strava KOM and that is for 100 km of Northwall Road. I do hope by posting this I don't tempt anyone to try to take my KOM. I would just say that 900 speed bumps is not something to recommend.

You have just over 10,000 km to go, which, in the context of over 36,000 is not so much. That said, most of us would consider 10,000 km a big year and would have the long summer days to achieve much of it. I continue to be so much in awe of your drive and determination.

It was really nice seeing @Skülly on Saturday morning when we were both, in our different ways, attending to our parental duties.

Hope to see you on a Clarion ride soon.

I just searched "Northwall" on my phone and discovered that I had at least 80 photos of that iconic kilometre. I will deny you the joy that might be obtained by my sharing them all as sharing them as it might be a little much on a Wednesday evening.

It's OK. My newest bike is over 10 years old. I have no plans to pollute the world by buying a new one.

Thanks @snoops

Also only two tubes of Chamois Creme?

Great news. Is it time for you to append days remaining and Km remaining to your posts on here?

Can anyone point to any bicycle manufacturers who are leaders in sustainability, here or abroad?

There is a 'critical maps' live tracker app. Is that used at all?

There is a Telegram channel called "Critical Mass (Live Updates channel)" which gives location sometimes using a live location and seems active.

Not be be confused with a channel started last month and called "Critical Mass" which is an anti vax conspiracy theory channel.

Spotted a naked man cycling west on Cable Street this evening. He seemed happy enough with life. Confess wasn’t looking at his gear ratio, never mind asking for a skid.

Good for him. We need people to stand up and oppose the ubiquity of Rapha.

We conceded a goal from open play yesterday. Not a happy state of affairs. Mind you, Kepa was the only starter yesterday who also started on Sunday and we were playing a new system. Lots of positives. Kepa is good at penalty shootouts.

What we have learnt about owners of football clubs is that there is just about zero likelihood of an owner being ethically acceptable and a decent human being. Unless a club can achieve supporter ownership without the ludicrous populism of Barcelona, and that is realistically only possible with a club the size of Clapton Community FC (Vince at Clapton shows how widespread poor ownership can be). To compete in the top levels, the amount of money required and the risk entailed, requires an owner whose motivation is unlikely to be the well being of supporters. Some corrupt bastards are worse than others. Some are simply better at running football clubs. The worst situation is to get a rich bastard owner who is totally inept. You have my sympathy.

Oh, and what are you planning for your last ride?
