Well the shed arrived before anyone was up here. Thats like before 7a.m.
I got out late last night due to having to collect the children with the O.H. and their father last evening, it had been an ongoing thing all day with the social worker, in the end the mother whilst upset seems to understand that she can no longer be left in charge with them (due to drink issues).

Was planning to have a day off today, but the sun is shining and no rain clouds, would be rude not to go for at least a little spin?

Sounds hectic. Do you foster?

Glad you have your shed

Back wheel is now slightly out of true though

Work front is picking up, got a two week booking starting Monday and As I've now got my bus entitlement back I can drive again this sat for another 12 hour shift
Happy with my avg today as a bit hilly on this loop (for me!).

Good to see work picking back up for you.

Weather wise in Leicester it is brilliant blue sky, but a tad nippy, still in shorts though.

 

[BrianEvesham]

Cheers, I'm having to turn some work down at the minute.

Yes I made the mistake of wearing bib tights, legs were burning up a bit should have gone with the shorts.

Ha, ha.........I'm a cauld tattie.....tights all year round for me Was a bit nippy first thing here this morning and breezy too but nice blue skies for a while and the roads had dried up a lot so was pretty pleasant really.

Lock seems a little over kill, and heaver than I thought, still it is Leeds I am going into and will feel a little more secure about leaving it.
Sheds under way.

I had legwarmers on last night and some base layer leggings and was to warm really, it appeared colder than it was when I set off, mind I think I was a little tired too.

Got out for 15 miles - http://www.strava.com/activities/90994483

Dry and sunny but the wind is still annoying, nice tailwind helped me get a PR though

Gonna wash the bike down and put her away till Saturday at least I think, this ride today took me over 200 miles for this month which is the most I have ever done (165 in Aug, 144 in Sept) I can see an improvement from the start, going further and a little quicker. Best of all is I still love getting out on the bike even when I want to throw it in a bush and walk home

Did contemplate that this morning when I was struggling uphill into a headwind

A tad nippy down here is probably height of summer temperatures for Scotland

Still building the shed, and missing a glorious Autumn afternoon.

I've been contemplating in work all day today whether to get out for an hour before dinner. It's been the best day for a few days and I've got a busy weekend ahead so probably not much chance for a spin. So, I was home and back out on the bike by 3.50pm....glad I made the effort as it's been a couple of weeks since I last went out due to a combination of bad weather and DIY. Perfect weather to get out in the country lanes .

By the way, I did get a tad excited when I noticed I had bagged 8th position on one particular segment.....until I realised it was 8th out of 10 .
