Good job I didn't nap or cycle in my cancellation slot as I had a text from a client who wanted a treatment today. Sorted her out instead. One happy client.

& a few extra £££s for you to spend on cycling gear!

My list isn't in priority order (yet)

Reason for edit. Forgot my emoticons don't work here so my smiley 'fell off'

A chilly 43 miles into work this morning. Average speed is getting back to normal, must be the new wheels

Waiting for OH to get back from Reading with the little ones at the school so we can go out for a ride again together.
Her blood pressure was taken yesterday and for the first time in years it was a "normal" reading, it's always been very high since our littlest was born at 25 weeks (yes 25!) after pre eclampsia and then full eclampsia inc a death defying fit (long story). We've decided that losing the alcohol and cycling has helped a lot (and if you disagree keep it to yourself ).
We were doing well until she fell off and hurt herself test riding a T3 in the Coventry Decathlon store this summer, so hopefully today will kickstart it off again.

Hopefully the blog will be revisited and updated soon.

On a roll here today as it was still sunny
Like a coiled spring I shot out for a ride on my own.
Well it is still sunny here.

My usal Wednesday to Chertsey with pannier.
Managed to tack on an extra mile or so
http://www.strava.com/activities/94845078
10.2 miles @ 12.6 mph
Think the Cateye made it faster (edit 10.6 miles at 13.2 mph)

Very cold first thing, frosty.
HOwever was perfectly ok with enough clothing - did not have a hat under helmet either

Sorry @SpokeyDokey I wont say what a lovely autumn day it was down here then!

Anyway, a very pleasant 36 miles was ridden today but needless to say the white bike is no longer white so the bucket & sponge will be out again tomorrow!!

I am really a very poor cleaner of bike, I did get some 'Muck Off" solution to help, and I think chain needs a clean and re-lube.
In the old days I just put more lube on

Was supposed to be windy this morning but it isn't much more than a strong breeze. Anyway, decided to give it a miss and just take the dog. Did a mix of walking and jogging so still got a good workout. My hands even got nicely warm even without gloves on which is unusual for me. I used to enjoy running in my late thirties and it is much tougher now but wouldn't mind getting back into it. I have enough trainers, tracksters, t-shirts, etc to last me for years so it would be a much cheaper sport. Want to cycle too though so not sure what sort of mixture would be best. I don't find they particularly complement each other.
