Bloody cold this morning, and it rained for a while and the wind just cannot decide which way it wants to blow, most definitely an inyourfacerly. On the bright side once the rain stopped the wind did dry me out before I got to work.

Sunshine and showers. Bumped into a regular this am but told him not to wait for me with my bad chest. Bumbled along again.

Tired, tired, tired - 5 year old daughter came into our bedroom at 4.30am complaining about a pain in her leg (complaining about her leg? She should try cycling 38 miles per day!) - anyway after a few tears - hers not mine - she got back to sleep which is more than I did.
Nice morning to cycle in, sunshine and only a small headwind and the towpath was less puddle-y than I had thought and also fewer dogs, joggers with headphones etc about so it was quite a smooth ride if not particularly fast. But I'm trying to convince myself that it's not important how fast I cycle, it's just good that I cycle.

No bike commute as was on a training course and unsure of facilities at the place I was going to.
On bus through the City and saw several moron cyclists going up a tiny gap between moving bus and pavement...gap which then closed and forced one Boris-bike rider to nearly career off on to the pavement - guy must have had a death wish.

Lovely ride in and was looking at a fast time thanks to large stretches of road without any traffic on...until...spoke went on back wheel just past Carshalton 
So it's off to Geoffrey Butler's in minute when they open and hope they can fit the job in today.
I know these things happen but four weeks after a service is a pita
Numpty count: 2 As I nursed my bike round to work, a car just came up onto the shared path and I had to avoid hime!!!! It's not that shared fella! And my spoke has to have a count as well
Update: 2 spokes gone and mechanic not in till tomorrow - sigh, I hate trains!
Fella said there had to be a lot of power going down to do that - nice compliment I suppose
