On 23rd Oct I’m taking on my first ever Ironman Triathlon in Portugal. It’ll involve a 2.4mile swim, 112mile bike ride and a 26.2mile marathon run to finish! I’m raising money for Mind in the process so if you can please give generously at justgiving.com/ben-lester8

Brutal couple of days coming up in the Vuelta, should shake the GC up a bit 😍 #Vuelta #Vueltaaespana #Vuelta2021 #bikeracing #LaVuelta21 #moutainfinish
My very first @lakesbrewco beers have landed. The cans look even better in the flesh and I am super excited to get stuck in…..but it’s not even 9am yet. Great to see colabs with @SirenCraftBrew and @SaltBeerFactory too, says a lot that such amazing breweries are supporting!!

Having publicly berated people for panic buying during lockdown #1, I now have 3days of self-isolation left and my own toilet paper situation is going to be a bit touch and go….metaphorically speaking.

I find ten rare spare minutes to watch some olympics and the bloody horse dancing is on 😔

Well I wasn’t expecting to get to use the phrase ‘up-periscope’ today when I woke up.
Happy National Day to all my Belgium followers 👀
What do Hub volunteers do on their day off? Well what do you think 😀 🚴 #keepshropshirecycling

So basically up to the stage 7 “wow, it’s amazing the GC has been blown open in week one”. Stage 8 “well that’s the GC sorted out then”. Let’s hope it’s decent race for steps two and three on the podium. #TdF2021 #Pogacar #yellowjersey #Alps
