Bikes: 80's peugeot. Somewhat knackered. Lovely new Salsa Casseroll singlespeed.

Overcast today - warm and muggy.

Great ride in though. There were loads of people out on their bikes this morning - I guess everyone's New Year Resolution is to get the bike out of the garage and get fit. Will be interesting to see how many are still on the roads by February! Still, it was nice to see so many bikes out there. Keep it up, everyone!

Also +1 to Gatorskin tyres today. Still lots of glass around after NYE, and going over Anzac bridge I ran over some, and then heard a 'tick, tick, tick' as the wheel was going round. Stopped, and checked the type. A small piece of glass had embeded itself, point-side first, into the tyre. Pulled it out, and all was well. With my old tyres, that would have been a puncture for sure. Hurrah!

Finally I did absolutely no exercise at the weekend at all - literally sat on my backside for two days. I though I might be stiff, but it seems to have done me good - I powered in this morning. (Thinking about it, perhaps I wasn't that quick, but as there were more slower cyclists on the roads I just felt more powerful! Muahahahahaa!)
