First Commute Since October

[moralcrusader]

So, my "well, I'll leave it for a week after the clocks go back", ended up turning into four months off the road out of sheer laziness. However, got the bike checked over at LBS last week and fitted new brake blocks at the weekend so took today as my first commute of the year. Highlights as follows:

Fitness at 0% - Denmark Hill is going to to be fun tonight

New gloves are still too thin for the moment - need to dig out my "winter" ones

First use of shorts in 2011

Down one bike light - hit a pothole and it fell off - right into the path of a bus. Luckily I have two!

Number of BSO-riding ninjas jumping off the pavement, nearly causing me to swerve into the side of a car: 1 (f@!*#?g swine)


Anyway, I've rather missed all this - although I'm looking forward to getting my fitness back a bit!

Well done to you! Did you enjoy it though - that's the main thing?

I was suprised that in the the heavy fog this morning, how many people were driving without their lights on. I reckon I spotted about 4. Some had their dipped lights, but it really was time for fogs.
