I'm a bit more skinless than I was previously, the bike is fine though, it was my newly built singlespeed so I feel like we have bonded now.

I was going to go for a longer commute but I've been invited to a beer garden, I don't want to get hungover though and want to cycle first thing (hard and fast ride); dilemna. I think I'll nip home get changed take the longer way to the pub and try to resist the urge to have more than two pints

Friday legs, a morning of graft and sudden hot weather meant I could do no more than pootle home in the low gears. I've got to go out again, through the city centre up to Sandpits and I don't really fancy it.
Came a little too close for comfort with a pedestrian crossing the road because I was distracted by a car that looked likely to SMIDGAF me.

Oh dear I seem to have ridden 40 miles today instead of my usual 16 and I still am at work. 
Managed a nice 17.8 mph average.

For the first time in three days it was dry in the morning, so after three days in the car I was back to doing what I enjoy, commuting on my fixed. 
it was a bit cool and grey this morning but the came out for the ride home, I was so enjoying riding in my shirt sleeves with the warm sun on my back that when I got to a set of lights I turned right instead of going straight on and pushed the commute out to 10 miles.

Long day at work today. 9.30 to 5.30, and I wasnt even meant to be in (training was cancelled and I didnt know). Lovely commute in the morning though, if not a little chilly.
Commute home was okay until the last 4 miles where it rained. But I had an awesome tow from a leisure cyclist who allowed me to get on his back wheel. We had a little chat and he noticed my club kit (my shorts).
A few crazy drivers out this evening. Saw a white car cut up a minibus just before a set of lights which were on red, a bus driver beeps and points to the left at me through a pinch point, plenty of people passing too close, impatient sod overtakes just as I set off from a queue of traffic.
Its been a bit mad today to say the least.

Lovely warm ride home, 4 white vans overtook me, 4 white vans gave me more than enough room.
