Starting to believe that there is a God and that she hates me.

Had a late homeward journey last night - cold and windy.

Got cycle-ready this morning and got into garden heading towards garage - trees were swaying side-to-side, so thought bother. Back inside, changed back into regular clothes and drove in. No regrets.

I've been riding into the wind whichever direction I've been going this week, and my legs feel crap. This morning I was barely gaining ground on a schoolkid on a BMX.

Think I overdid the training at the weekend, by doing some.

Glad I'm marshalling at the evening 10 tonight. If I was riding it'd take me an hour.

Funny you should mention that. I had to pedal downhill through Hyde park last night...it was horrid. When I got home and told Mrs Jeez, all she could say was...

"what wind?"

Exactly, what wind? I rode both ways yesterday evening, and sailed along thanks to my tailbox and disc wheel. :laugh:

Kids are funny, they sprint past you at high speed but have no idea what pace they can sustain. The panic when you just up your pace & hold onto them so they can't ease off when they've dropped you & thus remain 'cool' is rather amusing.

As I said to a guy earlier this week that rode passed me & gave a comment "Yeah, so you can do 23mph. Now hold it for the next 10 miles"... by this point he was getting quite out of breath after about 300m.

Ha HA...Think I actually went right past you that night BM, you (I think it was you) were teaching a lesson so I didnt want to inturrupt and suddenly pounce on you...I saw the bent first (against a bench by the Albert memorial) then almost rode into you whilst i was looking at it.

That would have been a great introduction!!!:bicycle:
