— Rained off and browned off: a thrilling afternoon in the Derbyshire spa town.”
What could be more thrilling than a wet summer’s afternoon in Buxton?
Well, I could think of a few things but there wasn’t much point in doing that as we descended into Buxton. Rain rolled down the hill like a waterfall.
After getting rained off within about ten minutes, we took shelter in a dark restaurant with morose waiting staff.
Later we sat in the car and tried to think of ways to avoid doing this sort of thing in the future.

Shameless self-promotion
Over a year in the making, Dopeology.org is my latest personal project: a topology of doping in thirty years of European pro road cycling.
I collected information from thousands of sources, then I modelled and published it via a lightweight user interface.
