Enjoying trying #sumo as a #judo guy.
It's nerve wracking! Each bout is only about 20 seconds... But seems to have all the stress of a full judo bout condensed in. Awesome.
Today, managed to not cheat and revert to just doing Judo.
Loving it
Hi #southampton people, I'm involved with Charlotte's Tandems ( https://charlottestandems.weebly.com/ ) and would love to help connect a tandem with riders with disabilities or additional needs.
Please let me know if this might help you or someone you know.
Fancy some #sumo ?
Let me know if you'd like to come with me up to a training session.

First ride on the Whike #recumbent trike of the year. No sail, but panniers fit (fresh coffee beans obtained). #regel17 https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/6edf56a2d2c3ae76ee0c25226eff5c27a98921bf83e721ed61f78ec9471b31a3/e24a8364ac63ff8e50f8027816e12e8173ba8c68e5b6f3c4cf02b3f0c0c9490f.webp

Sun's out time for a ride to see the Artful Dodger/Roaster on the #recumbent bike #regel17 https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/6edf56a2d2c3ae76ee0c25226eff5c27a98921bf83e721ed61f78ec9471b31a3/4da92752c650480a04879612086aab0234c53a59c31993e319594fcce8fe2033.webp
So it seems Trump has started and just lost a trade war.
90 day "pause" announced.
Turns out starting a trade war with the entire planet via taxing your own citizens is not very clever.
Donald Trump doing a Liz Truss is horrific for everyone.
Elbows up y'all.
Amazing #judo session on Thursday with friends from Fort Purbrook Judo Club in #Portsmouth coming over to #Southampton to share mat with us.
After restarting the club in January it has been amazing to see numbers growing week after week. https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/6edf56a2d2c3ae76ee0c25226eff5c27a98921bf83e721ed61f78ec9471b31a3/51d5a211472b6f5777cf8206b50d2638f93ff9c02f143eeb5281cda04741f0fc.webp
Oh wow, I'm apparently a criminal according to Donnie the chump. My not buying a #Tesla is apparently again at the law in USA.
Damn
Time for #judo, let's see if I can get through this week without pulling my calf muscle (again). https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/6edf56a2d2c3ae76ee0c25226eff5c27a98921bf83e721ed61f78ec9471b31a3/f0500eeb796174f40f4ddd09e8e1d2a2c1fd40a7a6652b9cc2db9794bb348d07.webp
5 year remembrance of COVID, yet Johnson out of prison and the Tories not forcibly disbanded.
I stand with Ukraine and Phil Goff.
When we see tyrant we should call it out for what it is.

Real pleasure to be at Fort Purbrook #Judo Club tonight and see Tina Penfold for first time in many years! https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/6edf56a2d2c3ae76ee0c25226eff5c27a98921bf83e721ed61f78ec9471b31a3/b3896934aaaa330310fe1a896c7d27deb4b8e26539296c864db91cc7684afd65.webp
Trumps tantrum today highlights how he has decided to side with the aggressor not the victim.

What an utter disgrace Trunp and Vance are. Americans must be so ashamed by their behaviour.
Ukraine is being attacked, and USA administration backing the baddies
