A Break In The Weather

7 November - Had a welcome break in the rain today - which was just as well because it was a super-busy day again today. I got into town at about quarter to eight and had to wait about five minutes before Chris came online. First rode to one pretty close building before criss-crossing the city from end to the other; visting some of the same and some new buildings - did not stop once all day, managed to cram a couple of chocolate bars twice but not one chance to stop. Skinned my knee when I came to a slow stop at one point and couldn't get out of my left clip. Would have done about twice the distance I did on Friday - first time I felt quite puffed with the riding - on Friday it was stressful but not too strenuous and today was stressful and strenuous. This wasn't helped by the fact that I was slowly accummulating overnight packages throughout the day which I couldn't get rid of until the enof the day. However, that it didn't rain was great - it was pretty chilly but once I was moving I barely felt that - main advnaage was not having water slushing through everything and making it impossible to write. Haven't quite decided whether I like it yet - it's very early days and some parts of it are bound to get easier. Had a nice chat with Simon (???), the only other biker left it seems is left at Novex -before coming home and eating as much as I could fit into my stomach before it burst. My diet's been pretty good since I moved in although I feel i'm OD'ing on bread but it can't be helped. Planning an early one tonight - can't be late for what tomrrow brings.
