It was raining this evening. I got wet.

Me too. Thunder, lightning, deluge, the lot.

Me too. Thunder, lightning, deluge, the lot.

So much for the hottest september, etc, etc.

I have reported this verdant pothole on fillthathole this morning... normally gets a quick repair on the go !

Or I suppose they might just mow it.

Quiet run in this morning, got to the ferry quite a bit sooner than expected. Can't recall any numpties.

Swear there were more vehicles on the road this "ride-to-work" day - it's like no smoking day when everyone lights up a fag! Also not as many cyclists and those that were on the road were not the usual crowd of FW, RLJ, SCR that I see in the morning.

Nice enough commute home, until half mile from home when the front derailleur decided to declamp itself and is now a twisted mangled useless scrap junk mess. Managed to twist it back enough so it's not fouling the chain but I need a new one. It's happened once before, but I wasn't shifting and the derailleur was ok. Must have been working loose for a while though.

Ride in was horribly sweaty and I expired somewhere near Shadwell as my bag jut seemed to get heavier and heavier and the fixie became harder to move.I must have looked a state as a jogger asked me if I was ok.So rested on the pavement alongside the CS 3 off of Caroline Street for five minutes and then made it into work around 1145am.

On coming back I diverted to Canning Town instead of using the CS 2 but missed a left turn and ended up at Upton Park...should have ended up at Plaistow...I noticed West Hams old ground is still there,though.Offices at the ground still lit.That was only 1½ miles extra,perhaps if I get it right tonight it will be less.

My hours at work have changed a little so my commuting miles have dropped off somewhat, just a nice round 30 a day at the minute. However yesterday I had some time to go for a spin in the sun so took full advantage, did the standard 15 mile in but extended the return leg to 78 . This mornings commute was unreal, visibility down to about 4-6ft, don't remember riding through mist like that in a long while.

Fast and hot ride in. Think the legs will feel it this arvo.

Short run in today, didn't feel like extending it out this morning. Probs will do more tonight though.
