Boiling. Will adjust the wardrobe for tomorrow. So nice not to be pulling the skull cap down hard over the bottom of my ears.

Traffic very heavy near home so hit my off road route.

Interestingly today, I was like you too warm. My HRM said my HR was too high. Took off my buff and partially unzipped my top and all normal. Definitely need to reassess tomorrow's kit

Took a shorter way in today as I have been battling a head cold. New separated cycle paths. Involuntary deflation incident provided an opportunity to test my tube replacement skills, I couldn't find anything in the tyre, or any hole in the old tube. Will investigate this more thoroughly over lunch in case I missed something.

It was nice not to wear thermal longs, and to leave the jacket at home.

Short route in this morning as I really struggled to get out of bed and had to wash my hair. I can't remember the last time I felt as reluctant upon waking as I have the past few days and it's interesting to see how accumulated caffeine apparently still has an effect in the mornings despite not having been taken any for maybe 12hrs.

Just about left on time feeling utterly horrible, however the ride was fantastic - a bit overcast to start with but mild, fresh and with a lot of other cyclists and songbirds around on the route of mostly rural cycle and tow paths... it's like the world was gently poking me and suggesting "come on you miserable pr*ck, it's not that bad".

Another one that's really buoyed my mood today, which is very much appreciated.
