A new Dawn – A new Speedo!

New Speedo for my bike! This morning I fitted it to the bike and rode to work. Normally I am happy to race cars and then take a breather, but with a device that tells you exactly how fast you are going the competitive side comes out and you have to go faster, even if you knacker yourself out in the process. The device is a Cateye Strada Wireless 8 Function Computer.

Tonight it snew

2 o’clock sharp: snow started falling from the dark grey clouds. 3-45 gets heavier and heavier. By the time its time to leave (1630) there’s a carpet of cars along the road and ten cm snow on the pavements. Times like this I feel lucky to have a bike. Not that cycling home was easy. Weaving in and out of stationary cars my eyes crammed shut to keep the snow from hitting my eyeballs and keeping the bike vertical to avoid sliding on the hidden black ice it was a beautiful and fantastic experience.We were going to do some christmas shopping but the shops closed early so their staff could get home safely. Still there are 2 more shopping days before Christmas. I cannot wait!

Not been running for a week because of illness and the snow-ice-rain. I did buy a new pair of Nike Air Pegassus on Saturday and I am thinking of going soon. When the snow has melted or departed. We’ll see!

Wiggo into the Sky

Brad Wiggins, British cycling god, has today signed to join the British pro-team “Team Sky”. This is awesome news for British cycling and I hope that this can bring more cyclists onto the roads and into jerseys to battle it out for medals and glory for Britain.

Today sucked. Really tired from the running and studying that I’ve been doing and a crappy day at work. It’s the Christmas party tomorrow so there’s that to look forward to! Hopefully I can go running before work tomorrow, either then or on Saturday.
