I skipped the usual cereal breakfast (as I need to let it settle, my stomach isn't used to morning food) and got a Mars bar and rode in. I consciously noticed I hadn't been taking water on whilst I rode in this cooler weather, so I have started taking gulps at any red light just to ensure I keep the levels up - once my body is reconditioned to eating in the morning, then I'll be better prepared. I just get nauseous if I ride after eating so soon in the early mornings.

Last night was raining all night, and this morning was wet, but not actually raining bar the last 2 minutes of my ride, I escaped a nice downpour.

Good ride in, had a hefty headwind when I was heading south, and with the wet I took a little extra care of the leafy areas, 32 mins with 14.7 average, happy with that time. Got passed by a guy on a roadie, he buzzed me a little (due to traffic) and I hadn't realised he was behind, so moved over a bit and yelled a "sorry!" and he replied with something like "no problem!" (I ride in the middle or the left side of the bikelane usually if I know I 'have' it).
