Brrr...

After the "heat wave" that was the last few days here in Birmingham, this morning it was positively arctic, I was certainly regretting my choice of undergarments on my pedal in! My poor little pinkies were freezing in my mitts too.

I came in the City Centre route with no incidents. Stats here:

Last night's pedal was pretty straightforward too, through Edgbaston, Harbourne, via the QE and over Frankley beeches, nothing to report. Sorry I'm boring this morning!

I'm aware of counting my chickens etc, but this week I may be able for the first time ever to get 5 days pedalling in, I have nothing scheduled meeting wise or any site visits pencilled in.

In other news, Phill's challenge of 100 off road miles in June has suddenly become a bit easier for me. Wifey has commanded me to book a week off in June while the kids are at Nursery and at school so we can spend some time doing non kid stuff on some days out she has planned. That works for me, so I'll be up at my usual time every morning and kill the off road miles then instead of commuting. To be truthful it feels like cheating somehow, but I'll take any advantage that presents itself!

  10. I read all my RSS via Google Reader.
    And just now I thought to myself, "I wonder what that "Recommended Items button does?".

    And here I am.
    Pleasure to stumble upon you.
    You'll find me on Twitter as @mcbazza. And my other MTB home is on http://www.mtbbritain.co.uk/ where I'm just plain ole 'bazza'.

    Keep up the good work. Anyone on a MTB is a friend of mine.
