Lol. Combination of being a poor sleeper, light mornings and a Siamese cat that thinks she should be fed as soon as daylight appears! Plus, I love the peace and quiet before everyone else surfaces.@Mo1959 You've done 48 miles before 9am!?

14p.b's 
but as I had only done most of them 2 or 3 times I was bound to get something.

Edit
I forgot to mention I nearly did 40mph 39.8mph
This is the fastest I have recorded since I started in 2012, though I believe I have been quicker, but have no record of it.

I have a Siamese that would sit on my chest and bite my chin and cheeks to wake me up in the mornings. He's stopped doing it now but I had a good year of 5.30am wake up bites!! Now he just likes to slumber on with his buddy and look very affronted when I turf them off the bed. They are unique!

A day for achievements
Abided by Rule #5 and despite light rain followed by heavy rain and hail went out for a ride.
So according to Rule #9 I am officially a BADASS (I assume this is a good thing).
Did 65 miles and 2100ft at an average of 14.5 which is good for me.
The 65 miles clicked me over 3000 miles since I started riding again 25th May 2013 so just inside the year.
I'm now 42 days ahead of my planned millage of 3000 for this year so will probably up that to 4000.
Despite being achey and knackered, when I returned put the bike on the stand took the wheels off and baby wiped/GT85ed it clean and lubed the chain before putting it away.

Took my bike to the LBS for the spoke change (as already stated, I am not technically gifted) brakes wouldn't align either so asked them to look at that. They very kindly took the brake pads off in front of me and showed me that I was very close to having no pads at all. So I had all of that sorted within an hour, which was good of them because they were very busy. Then went on a slightly windy ride. Only 13 miles but quite hilly, and a headwind wherever I went. Then quite close to home a local taxi driver got within a foot of my right arm, so a nice email to the company followed and just waiting on the reply. I was nice about it though.

Another of the same spinning session on the bike at the gym this morning since the weather is still c**p.
Same setup as last time, going to look for some new ones to put into phone now as not been home long, Really pushed myself this morning, though the HR stats say otherwise as I had the following:
Time: 54 Mins
Avg HR: 131
HR Max: 167
Cals burnt: 568
Tempted to take the garmin to the gym tomorrow for when I do the spinning as I will be able to see via timeline, when the HR goes up and comes back down, not just the average for the session.

Popped new brake pads on the front as the current ones were all but gone. Seems winter, with its horrible weather and salt and grit, was quite efficient at chewing through them. Was a nice quick swap and even getting them set up was easy. Now to forget I've changed them, grab a fist full of brake on the commute and launch myself over the bars...
A few other jobs I need to look at getting sorted this week include replacing the bar tape (leaning the bars against walls seems bad for it), fitting mirrors (because more weight = more excuses for slow speeds) and maybe even removing the cheap plastic chain guard (though it's going to involve taking off the chain rings so it might wait a while).
