Lovely morning but got caught out by the thin layer of frost on the car's windscreen thanks to the hour earlier start.
Had to again walk the bike past the now-five-week-old bed of hawthorn cuttings that remains littering to tow path despite my request to the Canal and River Trust nearly a month ago for them to clear it properly... this bullshit currently having contributed three punctures to my commute (despite my pushing the bike past it for a number of weeks) and last night a 1" thorn stuck in my foot after I evidently took some of it home with me
Other than having to accommodate the above and my lashed-up seatpost shim nearly failing due to my forgetting to clean it at the weekend it was a fairly uneventful ride.
In addition to the the lovely sunny morning the universe was particularly generous; gifting me both unfeasibly crisp sausages and a Kryptonite lock cable found en-route - which will be put to good use if nobody on the local FB lost and found page claims it
