Just rode the 1941 Vuelta a Espana on an old road bike geared for somebody much younger & better at cycling. Resulting tale VUELTA SKELTER out now!

The Tour goes up the Col de Marie-Blanque today. Recounting the agonies I endured climbing it on my French Revolutions ride, I wrote 'I coughed up iron and vinegar and flobbed it feebly on to my forearm.' My editor scribbled 'Absolutely disgusting' beside these words on the draft

The Tour goes through Guernica today, as I did on my Vuelta Skelter ride. Over to Pablo: ‘Did you do this?’ asked a Gestapo officer, pointing at a photo of Picasso’s Guernica after barging his way into the artists’s Parisian apartment in 1940. ‘No,’ replied Picasso, ‘you did'

My 108-year-old Hirondelle has just been on tour with Ned Boulting, who bravely rode it across the stage every night pretending to be Henri Desgrange.

Burly green jersey storming up massive climbs, waif-like yellow jersey running him super close in the TTs... are Jumbo Visma just, you know, a bit much?

"Reading Tim Moore is a joy...you will belly laugh at the bedraggled, gazpacho-guzzling figure Moore cuts in Vuelta Skelter...he emerges as a two-wheeled Groucho Marx and a thoughtful Simon Schama combined."- Iain Marshall VUELTA SKELTER by @mrtimmoore is out now in paperback🚴‍♂️
