More like a little breather just before the start of each segment,It wasn't going flat just losing 30 or 40 psi every three miles or so. Didn't slow me down too much.

Pretty uneventful commute today, KOM and a 2nd on some sprints but other than that taking it easy and watching out for fools.

It was dry & some one said there was a pre-order of strong wind which was delivered... I didn't notice anything resembling significant wind. AKA ribs aren't tender when I put pressure on my back anymore 
warp factors above 6 are available for short periods (toes get very painful after 15-20 min though)

Already looking a bit horrendous when I left I then collided with a Learner Moped rider at Aldgate who I guess stopped suddenly to turn down a side street.The more I think about it the more I think im at fault.Well I did hit him from behind.I ran out of space with nowhere to go.Got some nice lumps and some lovely scratches on my legs and a buckled front wheel.Amazingly the the ODO showed 12000 miles dot on.My first spill on it in just under four years.The moped rider didn't hang about but some peds asked me whether I was ok which was nice.I can't believe I was so calm.
Going to have a nice bath now.
Kind words from boarders would be along the lines."I don't think you are as big an idiot as you think you are."

That was on of the worst runs ever. Not relaxing and I didnt enjoy it.
The tube strike has sent too many people on to the roads. The roads were awful, with far too many cyclists, drivers and motorbikes doing some very silly things.

Last night was a tale of two winds, at times, cruising along and nearly running out of gears, then due to the Busway being flooded, having to switch back into the wind - down to 10 mph at times!
This morning was really hard work with the headwind from hell. Rain when it wasn't meant to, meaning I had to stop and put the waterproofs on.
Still beats the car or bus!

A lazy 11 miles into work this morning. It was very windy and raining cats and dogs when I normally get up, so I had a lie in. When I set off it was getting light, cloudless and a bit windy, got to work early despite the hour and half lie in!
