Four

I've got to say if I owned a turbo trainer or a spinn bike I'd have been on it. Getting in, getting changed and heading out again in the dark was hard tonight, but I did it. The photo shows how long I rode for, don't expect any info on distance or speed, the Garmin couldn't believe I had the audacity to ask it to connect to a satellite so sat on the bike bars like a really expensive egg timer. Getting home and looking at it I think it thought we were indoors the entire time. It is one of the most counter-intuitive bits of electronic gubbins I've ever used and I once had to teach myself to use a Geiger counter in a hurry so I don't think it's that I'm shit with equipment. The ride was mostly uneventful, got beeped at once by a crap driver and had another pass me and then through their cigarette butt out of the window, nice that thanks, lung cancer related thoughts flashed through my mind momentarily, but I didn't actually wish them dead. Route was some main roads, country lanes and a sneaky bit of trail which was a bit spooky in the dark. 

Other stuff...... I missed a lecture this morning because I totally forgot it was on and I stopped into Merlin Cycles on the way home and bought a beast of a bike lock because tomorrows ride may require additional security! Oh, and I hope the Americans have all been sensible and put their little ticks or crosses next to the bit that says "Barack Obama."
