Dry, sunny and not so windy. Felt like I was flying on the road bike (I wasn't) with two straight wheels. Only thing that spoilt the ride was having to get off bike and go into work

Yep, I hated work so much that I gave it up
Now I am so poor that I can hardly run the bikes but who cares, I am stress free and relaxed. Are you going to have to put the hybrid into the bike shop to get looked at?

Only the back wheel, hopefully they will fix it while I wait, they normally do.
A common problem

Very light rain (if that's what you'd call it) this morning, no 'waterproofs' at all needed. Another trip into Manchester - potentially two meetings, but both at the same time - I chose the one that had pastries (had 3 as the women were on diets)

Just a short slow commute for me this morning; I had come down with food poisoning yesterday and am still a bit of a ghost 
Had somebody wanting an SCR this morning but I wasnt in the shape for it. He been holding up the car/mpv in front of me (chappeau the driver for their patience) and when it got room to overtake, I breezed by him in its draught. He didn't like that and I could hear him pedalling furiously to catch up/draft and overtake. I just carried on my same pace, he then turned off and took a shorter route (wrong way up a oneway street and not waiting for lights); I took the legal route and suprise, suprise who did I see at the end

Who?
Yesterday really,254 bus overtook after sticking his foot down at Whitechapel only fo me to overtake him about a minute later,if it was that.Guess I was holding him up too much.I knew where the bus stop was so it seemed his rushing up the high road was pretty pointless especially as there were peds all over the place.25 bus pulled out in front of us at Mile End and although this was no bother to me as I could guess what was going to happen my workmate took this personally.
