2 incidents today on the way in.

First a red-faced fatty slows down and beeps angrily at me while gesturing vigorously at the cyle lane, which is impossible to ride on on a road bike because the surface is absolutely godawful. He got a cheery one-fingered salute, as the law has just been re-worded in the UK explicity stating that you don't have to use a cycle lane if one is available.

Then, just after pulling out of a T-junction, the car hurtling up behind me, who'd been a good 100m back when I pulled out, suddenly slams on her brakes and skids about 20m behind me (wet road, cretin at wheel) and also gives me an angry blast. She was quite pretty though so I blew her a kiss. Although she really deserved a sharp stick to the guts.

Apart from that, spent much of the 12 miles obsessively trying to make the avg/mph number on my new computer get higher... - averaged a mere 15.5 mph, need taller gearing!

Sun is currently shining, looking forward to the ride home in about 15 minutes...
