Morning all,
Another early start, dealt with a few emails but plenty more to keep me going. Hopefully not too many customers will bother me today, but I doubt it. Lovely sunny day out there, bit chilly mind. Lots of pedestrians holding up the traffic as I rode through the park. They were like sheep I tell you.

    Oh deer, that looks busy!

    Managed half an hour on the turbo this morning before work, got a quick survey to do this morning and then may plot a night ride if anyone else can be arsed.

    Commuting in London is terrible as you can see. Shame I couldn't get a better picture, it was a really big herd that stretched over a good 2-300 yards with a couple of very impressive looking stags. Luckily I was riding along a path perpendicular to the road so managed to avoid the deer. The red deer aren't too bad as they are usually quite calm. The fallow deer are smaller but very jumpy, if something spooks them they all run like hell without looking where they are going.
  • Morning all, nice pic V68!

    I'm back in the office after a week working out of the velodrome (sometimes I just hate my job :D ).

    Hope you're all well.

    Laters.

    Didn't see any wildlife on my morning run in solihull :(

    Later was meant to be a decent night out, but it's been cancelled and now that the wife has arranged to go out with the kids and friends I've got a feeling I won't have any dinner ready tonight

    Obvious. Take away time...plus beer.

    I usually see quite a few things that should be wearing antlers as I pedal through South London :)

    Left the bike chained up at work late last week so had to take the train in and will bike it back tonight and do a full day tomorrow in the name of lard shifting. Apart from that, seems to be a lot of internal politics to deal with at work - sometimes fun as long as you're dishing it out.

    Do you think Joachim Eilers has over done the neck muscles a touch?
