I couldn't decide whether or not I enjoyed the wind, on the one hand it made me feel cooler, on the other it was hard work.

300km a week through London on a road bike.
I think that's "much longer", not "longer". Well done
I often do that run to be honest normally it's fine, just far too hot today, got really tired.I think that's "much longer", not "longer". Well done

I'm sure you do, just that 45 miles is a fair old hop over 5 miles
Yesterday's was an absolute corker. Early in 9 miles, before it got ridiculously hot, another 7 miles up to the pub in Cambridge at 6pm, mooch by the river until pub o'clock and then a glorious 10 mile run home in the twilight. It was absolutely silent, a gorgeous moon, hares, stoats and allsorts out to play. I could have gone on for miles.

Gorgeous ride in this morning. Headwind on and off all the way but, and I never thought I'd feel this way, it was welcome - especially after yesterday's dead heat on the way home. Even had a chat about how nice it was with a lady at the lights in Borough High Street.

Warm warm warm .
Nearly took out a pedestrian on my way home last night. I rang my bell at least 10 times starting from at least 300 feet back (I was riding at a decent, but not horrendously fast speed on the Bristol to Bath railway path), and he was completely oblivious to it. I braked hard and swerved around him and got a few dirty looks in the process. The path was quite busy as it was still commuting time, with quite a bit of traffic coming from the other direction. I was hoping that by ringing my bell, he would step a bit further to the outside of the path giving me enough space to safely pass him and not become a danger to the oncoming traffic, but no...
I also had the dreaded first clipless moment yesterday. I had my left foot unclipped, and as I was coming to a stop, my bike decided it was going to fall to the right. I frantically tried to unclip my right foot and managed to just as I hit the ground.

Warm... Very warm, I found myself adjusting my road position to use any available shade and seeking out routes I knew were tree lined!
On the way back took a shortcut across a wide open area and discovered a huge headwind!!

Dropped the car off for a service this morning, took my bike off the roof and rode 12 miles through the lanes to work at an average 17mph.
Very nice indeed !
I have a pint glass in the office which is seeing a lot of use at the moment.
