Well, I was expecting September to be a bit quiet on the riding front, but this is ridiculous. First couple of weekends we're on holiday which was lovely, but bike free. I get a week of commuting in, but nothing extra due to crappy weather and post-holiday and pre-start-of-term being insanely busy.

Last weekend we're away for a wedding, so no riding, and while out and not really paying attention I manage to fall up some stairs and land with the underside of my knee on the edge of a step. It didn't hurt much then, but it's been gradually getting more painful to walk on in the last couple of days. I grudgingly decided this afternoon that I probably shouldn't ride on it this weekend either - that's 4 weekends in a row with no decent riding :(

To cap it all, work has been stupidly busy, and I've not had chance to keep up with you guys. September sucks so far.

Hope you've all been having a better time of it... :)

bcc, just a suggestion: never curse anything, even something as nebulous as a month, until you're well clear of it. It can always get a lot worse.

I was sick for almost a week, and that kept me off my bike. Hasn't been a fantastic month so far.

I havn't commuted yet this week due to excessive heat in the afternoons. The ride in is nice, but the ride home kicks my booty. I'm going for it tomorrow though. Much cooler all of a sudden. This has been my worst month since I started...

When I'm sick I feel better after a casual ride, gets the blood pumping.

The Bee has been working this month- well ok this past week - but it menas riding is likely only on Saturdays and Sundays! But I am very grateful to have that time. And the good news is I have been back at the gym - doing the treadmill and the elliptical and have lost 2 pounds since Monday... (It's not official til Monday's weigh in)
