Riding in freezing fog can lead to your bibs getting frozen to your legs. Let them defrost, before trying to take them off.

When you cannot stop the snot oozing down your face, your head thumping, throat burning and eyes itching. Dont be a hero and stay at work, infecting all your collegues. Pick up your bag, go home and get some sleep.
That's what I did.

Some close passing buses, have an emergency fuel cut off handle on the outside of the engine cover.
It can't have been me officer, i was cycling along as he overtook me. Surely such a professional driver wouldn't get close enough for me to touch it, would they?
Do they work?

I found out touching the wheel on the turbo trainer after a wee session isn't a bright idea, rather toasty on the finger tips

Filtering through traffic is scary, but not as scary as I thought after I had to do it twice today. It was either that or sitting in the queue like a car but without the radio and the metal shell protecting me from the fumes.
So here are mine for the weekend.
1) Cycling on a muddy towpath is not easy and after 5 miles it was bliss to get back on the road.
2) After doing the above, your upper arms will kill for 2 days
3) I can cycle 30.9 miles!
4) 0.25 of a km more and I would have done a metric half century
5) Mr S is lovely company when riding a long way
6) The Bluebell Cafe at Marsworth serves the best latte cake ever!

If your front mudguard gets very full of mud and starts binding on the tyre/wheel, it's sometimes quicker to remove the front wheel and remove all the mud from the mudguard with a stick........
Especially if you have Quick Release wheels.

OK, I've now got to extend my ride from Bulbourne to Marsworth and it's your fault. BTW, Waitrose in Berko is handy for the canal.
