Since starting cycling, I seem to have lost nearly all my body fat - this may seem great to some, but it does mean i'm feeling the cold more than I ever have before. Did go for arm and knee warmers this morning instead of tights and a l/s jersey though.

You should eat more exotic flavoured crisps, drink more continental lager and have a ghee feast at least twice a week. I have found this helps to maintain my double figure BMI...

Let's just say that I have a very healthy appetite. I eat like a horse. I could probably eat a whole horse and not put weight on.

I also saw a heron this morning and heard a woodpecker, but didn't catch sight of it. Lambs and calves have been in the fields for a week or two now as well. Sure signs of spring, watch it go really cold again now!

School boy error tonight, cycling behind a few cars matching there speed, either the car in front indicated late or I just missed it til last minute. Managed to slow down enough was close to the rear of the car as it turned up a driveway between two buildings. Would have passed and been clear at our speeds. Only trouble was a car was coming the other way which I hadn't seen, causing the car I'm behind to come to a stop. I managed to swerve but fell to the left whilst lost balance while unclipping, Leant on the boot with my arm. Got horn blown as I cycled round, so went back to apologise and and explain the only thing dented was my pride :sad:

Another nice commute, with the temperature slightly below 10°C, only slightly marred by the 2 separate motorists who overtook me without bothering to fully leave my lane. This is between 5 and 5:30am, on a multi-lane highway, with next to no traffic. So why do they not bother changing lanes to overtake? Bloody idiots should be registered... no, wait a minute... :laugh:

My continuing stalking of @martint235 continued today. At least I think it was him. Perry Vale/Hill? near St Dunstans in Catford. This time, instead of the early morning journey, it was in the late afternoon. I couldn't catch him up though. I was in the car again.

On the bus this morning (bike left overnight with a friend due to a late night), and I spotted a recumbent hand trike on the A38. For once I wanted the bus to get stuck in traffic so I could see it again properly, unfortunately it was a pretty clear run in!

Also had to put up with comments from other passengers about a different cyclist holding up the bus on a hill!!

Commute by car today:sad:, car full of the last remnants of our old kitchen going to the recycling centre plus various parcels from work to pick up.
In penance I did a 60km ride before work this morning.

Blimey, so many bikes are back from their winter hibernation.
There were 15 in front of me on Jamaica Road, I didnt count how many were behind.
Much less RLJ'ing this year, but still seeing some terrible manouvres being pulled by some of the newbies.
They need to get on cyclechat and improve their road craft!
