A lovely ride in today. Sunshine and very few cars. A few idiots, but hey - that's their blood pressure. I felt like I had friday legs, but it was just cause there were so many fast lads on the road. I managed 23.6kph average, which is pretty good for me.

Yeah, thanks for introducing yourself. Metal box shenanigans meant I got dropped back, and I just caught you at Broadway. I was going to say goodbye when the lights changed. Ah well. See you again.

I was just setting off home today when one of my colleagues got back from lunch bearing Ice-creams for us all

Yet again nothing bad happened on my commutes today, well apart from it raining, but that doesn't bother me...

Had a nice steady ride home, thought it might rain again so I tucked my ickle rainjacket into my back pocket and the naughty rainclouds stayed hidden for me 
Also for about the second day in a row I passed a nice long trail of static traffic on Westwood Hill in Sydenham which always makes me chuckle.
Bring back whistling while cycling say I !!!

I thought I was going to have a bad commute this morning when I caught myself whistling the rugby world cup tune 
, but by the time I got to work I'd managed to replace it with the Ivor the Engine theme.

Also tried a section of road next to a cycle path because I don't then have to muck around at the roundabout crossing, and giving way to, two streams of traffic. Oddly enough the road is a slower ride becasue the cycle path has an excellent surface (it is less than a year old).

Sorted out a puncture last night. Adjusted wheels and brakes too.
Set off this morning - gosh this is a lot harder than it should be. And not much wind too.
Spun the front wheel just before I set off this evening - brakes binding like crazy. Obviously didn't adjust it properly last night. Adjusted wheel, and everything now fine, so set off with a bike working well, and a stiff breeze behind me. And I flew!!!!! (not literally, of course)

Rain held out, so I got in the world cup spirit by wearing my endura England top.
Had to be " three lions " on the whistling jukebox today folks.

On the ride back from the railway station to my home I managed to average 21mph over 2.5 miles (17mph Average for the overall journey because of the hills at the end) and all the traffic lights were in my favour.
Oh and the traffic was light, thank goodness for football B)
