I nipped out on my singlespeed bike this afternoon to pick up a few things from Lidl, and my weekday Metro.
I had been looking out of the window at the overcast skies, drizzly conditions, and leaves swirling about in the wind. It didn't look very tempting at all, but I needed some exercise and fresh air. As soon as I opened the front door I discovered that... it was warm outside! It was actually about 5-6 degrees C warmer outdoors than it was inside my house - very strange!
Still, that was a nice surprise so I treated myself to the 6 km loop rather than the 4 km one.
I managed to get back before the drizzle turned to rain.
It is surprising how much better such a short ride can make me feel. The repeated short climbs on singlespeed are just enough to give me a nice little workout without tiring me or reducing me to a sweaty heap.
Hmm... I just heard that a 22 year old was stabbed in the town centre in the early hours of Saturday morning. I was just searching for info on that and instead found mention of 3 other assaults (one of them sexual) back in September! It's a small town and I feel pretty safe wandering around, but obviously there are always going to be a few aggressive idiots in any community like this.

Managed to get three loads of washing done yesterday, coloureds, white and towels so next I must iron.
Getting colder but at least the spiders have ****ed off
