    Ah, SCR, how I love thee.

    It's my birthday today, and I was wearing the new Wallace and Grommit, "Keep up, Lad!" top I got on my commute...

    All the best people were born in July.

    Particularly the 21st.

    I know it's irrational and that he was cheating and persistent red light jumping invalidates any claim to scalp, etc.,

    But dammit I'm still burning with the injustice of the plodder on the mountain bike who I passed four times this morning still getting to the junction of GSS and US before me and thereby sneaking the lights.

    Moral victory is mine, of course, but I'm seething.

    Nice little threesome this morning from Greenwich to Tower Bridge, one guy on a Boardman in baggies and one on a Raleigh with a "Marmite" top on. Marmite man was the quickest but couldn't actually breakaway, thought we had left Boardman behind until he shot past me on the inside coming over the bridge.
    No scalps taken or lost but a nice little workout according to my hrm (confirmed by my legs)

    Whilst choosing which little cap looks best with this morning bike coordinated outfit I couldn't help thinking.... cycling is sooo ghey :lol:
    Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.
    Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
    Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
    Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.

    Do you think my arms look bigger in my Coppi or Liquigas skin tight top?

    I find myself more and most disgusted at my own hairy legs but worse still those hairs that find there way through the shorts, you know the ones I mean :shock:

    Me neither.

    I had to have a stiff word with myself last week because I forgot to dig out the blue mitts to match the blue kit. I was wearing red mitts!

    Oh, the shame...

    Oh My God.

    That's richer than a double chocolate mouse, topped with Jersey Cream, extra chocolate and cream, thickened with duck fat and topped off with couple of dollops of clotted cream ice cream.....

    I of course am free from vanity....

    I am not disappointed when the service lift arrives first to get me out of the car park at work - it has no mirror so I can't check the definition in my calves - see - as I'm not disappointed I can't do that - I'm not vain - see.....

    I do have a shocking revelation to make about my last trip to the barbers.

    BARBERS Other Greg - where men get their hair cut not Tony and fecking Guy or wherever you have yours "styled"....

    It's proper bad.....
