Indeed.. in some parts of the commute home I was pedaling as hard as I could and not getting anywhere...

Good Lord, I had sun,rain, hailstone which took a layer of skin off my face, and wind that made me feel as though I was going backwards.
I didn't need the Brompton to remind me I'm not fit yet on my way home. The brutal headwind and imploding lungs took care of that. It's not often I covet my mother-in-law's e-bike, but this evening I did!

Awesome tailwind on the way home put a grin on my face. Got the grin wiped off by Gubbins lane being closed near Harold Wood Station, police everywhere, apparently a 20 odd year old female pedastrian had been knocked down earlier in the afternoon and is in a critical condition.

This.
Had to delay leaving work for 30 minutes this afternoon - it was either that or go home during a hefty rain shower.

That was harder work than I feel it really needed to be. Bitterly cold headwind, absolutely no power in my legs. Struggled all the way in with a measly 13.5mph average. Horrible.

I've gone all militant on the local authority after they ignored fillthathole pothole reports for over 18 months despite closing the road in question for "cleaning" several times and despite fixing other less nasty potholes. Full on Twitter engagement (Ok, 2 tweets), photos, etc.. hoping for a fast response.

Do what some other people did. Get some bright spray paint and doodle a penis where the potholes are. They were filled in pretty quickly after the local council found out.
In other news. First day back on a bike after last Fridays tumble. Feels very refreshing even though it is drizzling a little
