      Your a funny guy Mr S, today's cycle strategy was perfect! That wind in your face feeling you had today had nothing to do with the environment, it was more to do with the curry that I had last night;-)

    Fantastic morning if a little chilly to rack up some miles. Cycling buddy confusing me with feet and meters, but I know its not even close the climbing we will have to do in a few weeks time.
