Morning Commute:
Argh – like a cock hole I forgot to stop the timer so my 16.5mph average time on the Garmin has dropped to 14.2mph :(

I won’t be able to post the figures until I’ve edited it later – but they where quick – 48 minutes or so, 81rpm cadence, 146bpm average heart rate are for defo – just time and avg speed to sort out!

The day started off a disaster – my wife and daughter where walking to the car when an asshole sprinting down a dark alley on a bike had to slam on his brakes and perform an emergency stop mere cms away from my family. Lucky for him that he didn’t collide, because he would have literally been battered to within an inch of his life.

He then, as I followed him commenting that he’s a dick (under my breath) he rolled his bike out into another road with a car coming left whilst he was (the cyclist) on the wrong side of the road…. He then did exactly the same thing again, forcing a car into an emergency stop and a “beeeeeeeep” of the horn.

I don’t wish ill on people, but if he got hit by a car today – it would not surprise me.

The race was won by me to nursery, but that was by the by this morning as I was angry with the chap from previous, therefore adrenaline was assisting me all the way.

Most of the journey was simple and safe, which was a bonus after the couple of days that I’ve had and now I am ready for work – although full of wind as I had a Paal last night!

Evening Commute:
Total Distance: 9.64 miles
Total Time:44m 49s
Max Speed: 23.90mph
Avg Speed: 12.91mph
Max H/Rate: 174bpm
Avg H/Rate: 151bpm
Cadence: 76rpm

I’m gonna be quick tonight as am off out, but I’d like to firstly thank British Gas for the asshole drivers that they employ, that physically try and ram you off the road coming up to a junction whereby a cyclist is trying to make themselves more visible and less safe. Fuck You!!! Video to follow and be sent to you!

I managed to catch a ride with the shrinker tonight and have a catch up because he’s been a busy boy at work and been going in early and leaving early (?) – to all who are concerned / interested – he’s alright and he actually looks about a stone lighter than when I saw him last – I didn’t want to tell him that because his head would have grown and put a stone back on!

We both ended up behind a tool riding up Hyde Road with no lights on his bike (Red – I’ve a video of my lights from the same place this morning, with my bike facing the other way – the light lights up the whole house about 120ft away whilst passing through a lampost – but I will also do the lampost test too).

Denton saw one RLJer today – but that tends to be the case on a Friday night – everyones happy that they are going home, so less hassle trying to get there.

Saw another car using the secret shortcut in Hyde Town Centre, and then I bumped into Mr British Gas.

Arrived home safely eventually, but also angry at the tossbag above.

Now off for a Chinese.
