An excellent ride in this morning. Great conditions and legs felt good. Rode a few miles with another cyclist who showed me a nice variation to my route. A bit further but a nice country lane rather than 2 main roads. Turns out he knew Samuri from Flickr. Small world! Ended up riding a bit faster than I wanted to and I knew I'd pay for that later, especially as I knew I hadn't brought enough breakfast in with me.
Busy day at work again, no sitting down time so was quite tired when I set off home. I knew I hadn't eaten anywhere near enough to maintain a decent speed for the whole ride so deliberately kept the speed down and vowed not to chase anyone who overtook me - I managed to stick to this vow until I was about 5 miles from home :) Just before the Warburton Toll Bridge I spotted a girl by the side of the road struggling with her bike. Stopped to see if she needed a hand. Turns out she'd hit the kerb trying to get out of the way of an ambulance and her rear wheel had come out. Anyway, fixed it in a few seconds and it meant she could ride home rather than waiting for her housemate to come and rescue her. That was my good deed for the day :)
Sat here with tired legs now, will probably have a couple of days off the bike. Quite a high mileage week last week (for me) so should probably take things easy this week.
