POETS Day...

A fine British tradition. For any of the international readers of this blog that translates into Piss Off Early Tomorrow's Saturday.

I have achieved a first this week as predicted, work has not got in the way and I've managed 5 days total commuting, a car free week! Brilliant! The pedal in was again the City Centre route on my Giant. The reason I'm on the Giant today is so I can get home quickly dinner time. See POETS day.

The pedal in was a standard affair with no incidents other than I actually overtook a moving bus in Selly Oak! That's another first, he was doing about 20 - 25mph and I whizzed past at 35mph. He caught me up just before the Bristol Road McDonalds where I turn left up towards 5 Ways.

  5. Clives wife, she did like to laugh
    Coz Clive couldn't fit in their bath
    But now he's all thin,
    He can slip just right in
    And his life, is right back on path.

    He thanks his wife for the pushing,
    As its her that he's no longer crushing
    Now he speeds long the road,
    By bicycle mode
    ANd his wife is now all a gushing.



    I'll get my coat.
