Lovely delightful @cyclingplus sent us this! Ned, doing PUNDITRY on the Giro! With some tasteful roses. Just as we were PINING away and everything after #NoNed on the Classics coverage. How thoughtful! #gosh #wow

Ned. In the FLESH #gosh #phew

Lovely delightful @RossiterBooks put us onto this #intel #coo If you’re Herefordshire way, you can go to this on 31st May! You lucky lot. Make sure you give Ned a #manhug from us.

On The Road Bike by Ned Boulting

Not the return of Real Peloton. Not at all. Well, maybe

Look what @mrendell posted! Look!! We mean listen! #excitable #easilyconfused #gosh

@wegelius tweeted this little teaser of Ned in Corsica (thanks to @ondrive for the spot):

Very good! Not quite warm enough for #cutoffs, yet, sadly, but we’re liking the jacket-slung-around-the-hips look #louche

Tonight, we sat down in eager anticipation of some #NedAction on ITV4. Our hopes were raised by early sightings of Ned, doing #seriousface perched on a rock while giving his lucky old KNEE a cuddle #wow #cuddle #contrastcollar

We were disturbed by the tiny bat making its way up Ned’s collar, though. Could this explain his absence in the rest of the programme? #vampire

kymethra:

It’s not Sherlock news, but this is the third day in a row this week something AWESOME has been announced and/or tweeted. Myself and the rest of the INBFC* are thoroughly looking forward to the prospect of excessive #hashtags and #tweetalongs and the cobbles and dust and everything.

Ned gave a TALK at Walton-on-Thames! #gosh #PA #powerpoint #laserpointer And of course, the INBFC massive were there in FORCE to support him. Lovely and talented @Laurie_king from www.opencreative.co.uk let us borrow his picture of Ned contemplating his lectern, above #wow #notes. According to EVERYONE Ned’s talk was TERRIFIC. Of course! What would you expect? Afterwards some key INBFCers got UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL with Ned #wow #cuddle including @LulhAndy (below) and @Ewbles (below below). #FanWithTheMan Very good, chaps!

Revolution!

Fri, 08 Feb 2013 17:33:28 -0500

We’ve been sadly bereft of #NedAction over the last few months, but Revolution came along just in time to save us from moroseness and general lackadaisiality. Here’s Ned with @cyclingweekly writer and generally all-round smokin’ HOT esteemed cycling news personality Sophie Smith #gosh #blimey Sophie ALMOST manages to drag our attention from swoonworthy creases around Ned’s eyes and delightful #micwielding action #profile shot. Below, Ned appears with two perennial favourites among INBFC members, Lizzie Armitstead and Ed Clancy #coo #chops #gingereyelashes #golly

Ned in Walton-On-Thames in Feb!:

Follow the link for details of Ned’s next outing #gosh #interactive #audienceparticipation Knowing our luck, it’ll be sold out already. But hey. If you’re down there, worth a try, eh? Give Ned a massive INBFC #manhug for us.

Interview with Ned in Revolution programme!

Wed, 09 Jan 2013 14:35:15 -0500

Well. We were all #sadface, because there is #NoNed on tonight’s Revolution #bah. But then lovely stalwart INBFCer @SimoneWarner alerted us to this interview with Ned in the Revolution programme from last Saturday. Ned gets all excited about stuff, so we do, too. Of course.

In the meantime, here’s a picture of Ned from last year’s Revolution, to keep you going. That’s better, isn’t it #aaaah

Lovely INBFCer @zoomgordo’s been catching up on a bit of filing. He sent us this lovely pic from his personal 2010 Tour of Britain archive #gosh #thoughtful

In the depths of winter, it’s hard to remember it was ever summer. Was it really light enough to watch evening crits? Did we really stand around drinking beer in #cutoffs? Did Ned really get sunburnt? September 2010 looks like it was a bit chilly, mind you. Ned, pre-#MiniMac in jeans and waterproof, gives us a bit of #seriousface. He’s warming up for a bit of #micwielding, we’re sure. Only the cameraman’s shorts let slip that it might actually have been warm earlier on.

Ned tackles the Bec Hill Climb!

Sun, 04 Nov 2012 15:48:00 -0500

We’re late to this party, but #GOSH didn’t Ned do well the other week! Here he is, doing #sufferface like a PRO

He gave it his ALL #wow #commitment

but recovered enough to give @SullimanDan a grin after a bit

No being sick into buckets for our Ned! #professional #TVpersonality #grooming

And look! He came THIRTIETH! Not at all shabby #gosh #skillz

Thanks to @SullimanDan for the top 3 photos. The last one is Ned’s own.

Ilkley Cycling Club kidnaps Stephen Roche and Ned Boulting:

Lucky old Ilkley Cycling Club managed to go for a proper RIDE with NED! #gosh #jealous Here’s Time Smart Cycling’s terrific writeup of the day.

We’ve been getting behind on the old GYNB-ing this week, so here’s a little montage, @matpennell stylee. The ToB so far! Feat. all our favourites. Ned! @RealStephens! Safari parks! Rivers! Grins! Coffee! The MiniMac! #seriousface! #micwielding! And a natty blue jumper or two. Very good!

Thanks to @AltheaAdams_ for the pic of Ned doing INTERVIEWING #gosh

The RETURN of #FanWithTheMan! Lovely @jentoffee and delightful @nethertonboy1 let us borrow their pictures taken with Ned at the Tour of Britain. Very good! #wow We particularly like Ned’s #concentrationface #tonguestickingout and the fact that @nethertonboy1 managed to give Ned a sneaky CUDDLE like a good INBFCer. Excellent work everyone!

Sat, 08 Sep 2012 16:53:29 -0400

Golly! There’ve been a lot of Paralympics, haven’t there! Not as much Ned as we were hoping for, though. We’ve missed quite a few #NedSlots due to REAL LIFE and WERK and stuff #ohno but lovely conscientious INBFCers have been doing their best to keep us up-to-date #thoughtful Top chum @deanlaccohee sent us these delightful screencaps featuring #seriousface, #micwielding and #NedInAction , and we almost felt at home again. Thank you Dean!

Anyway! It’s the Tour of Britain next, and #RegularNed will replace #RandomNed on our screens. We can’t WAIT. See you there! #tweetalong #gosh #wow

What brand of clothing does ned wear regularly on tv. It has a F logo

Tue, 14 Aug 2012 17:17:00 -0400

Ooh. We haven’t got a clue! Any INBFCers know the answer to this? Ta…

Right. According to @jimmythecuckoo and @IHphoto, it’s FARAH. Well done INBFCers!

It’s been a while, hasn’t it. But NED is BACK! [wild cheering, fainting] Lovely delightful @thecycleshowtv featured him last night, resplendent in CYCLING JEANS #gosh #oxymoron and talking knowledgeably about COMMUTING and stuff. Sadly Graham Little beat him in the roller challenge #coo #swizz #notready #sunwasinhiseyes and rubbed salt into the wound by being able to TALK afterwards #noteventrying

"It’s practical, with just a hint of mid-life crisis about it."

Ned on the TELLY!

Sat, 11 Aug 2012 16:42:00 -0400

We’ve been a bit piano recently, it’s true. Ned’s been on his hols, and we’ve been getting all distracted by the Olympics and stuff #gosh #trackskillz #roadskillz #medals #inawe

But! Ned is BACK in ACTION. Several upcoming opportunities for #NedAppreciation have reached our ears, and we thought we’d pass them along to you #service

1. Tomorrow (Sunday 12 August) BRIGHT and EARLY, Ned is (we are reliably informed by @Aitchy71) voiceovering the first episode of a series about SURFING in the UK! #wow #brave #cold #jellyfish It’s at 7:30 am on Channel 4. Here’s what the Radio Times has to say about it, and here’s the lovely informative website about the film itself.

2. Also tomorrow, The Cycle Show (@cycleshowtv) is FILMING at jolly trendy and groovy cycling cafe/shop look mum no hands! (@1ookmumnohands) #hip #happening INBFC London Caucus members might like to slope down to the shop from about 12 noon and have a crafty cappuccino in the background while Ned’s on the SOFA #fameatlast #halloMum #getontheTELLY #WearYourBadgeWithPride

3. Finally, the results of all that strenuous filming in (2) above will air in The Cycle Show on Monday 13 August at 8pm on lovely familiar ITV4 #homesweethome The show is an HOUR long this time and features Ned talking about COMMUTING and stuff #golly #Borisbike #onewaysystems #whitevanman

what is ned short for

Mon, 23 Jul 2012 13:53:12 -0400

Haha! Well, @NaziHunterAlan thinks it’s ‘Nedward’… We DO actually know the answer to this one, but we’re not letting on #tradesecrets
