It’s that time of the year once again… I’m with my homies here in Clitheroe. Beautiful weather, interesting talk, nice food and decent beer. A quadruple whammy of goodness at the Cycle Touring Festival. I delivered two talks (‘Ten Years of Cycling Europe’ and ‘Podcasting on Tour’) and made a 10-minute contribution about Albania to a third. My plan had been to return to Yorkshire early in the morning to see the Tour de Yorkshire at The Piece Hall in Halifax but with the weather being so good, I’m very tempted to stay put here in Lancashire, pin back my ears and listen to the tales of others…
