At last it's Friday - yabba dabba doo!  End of a very wet week - perhaps the longest day yesterday was really the longest wettest day!  The waterproofs have seen a lot of service this week.  Wednesday's trip to and from school involved a lot of water - the shower at around 4-20 certainly found me!  Hey ho.  Did 1 hr 33 mins and 1 sec for the 30 miles in the time trial on Wednesday night - happy just to have finished, frankly.  Day's total was 80 kms, making the running total 274 kms.  And various intimate parts were hurting on Thursday morning!

Thursday involved cycling to school, then to the Donnington Valley Hotel for a pastoral conference, then home afterwards to freshen up and then back up to the Hotel (via the Golf Club) for dinner in the evening.  Plenty of slopes to get the blood flowing (especially from Oxford Road up to the golf club - now I know why they use golf carts a lot), but a day of excellent company, a very useful conference and a very pleasant dinner.  Day's total was 22 km, so now up to 296 kms - looks like I'll easily beat the expected distance. 

Thought for the day - Michelle Pfeiffer.

Re: Friday's here at last!

Ridiculously wet this morning as I was trying to get stuff from the garden. How did you avoid being a drowned rat by the time you got to work?

Re: Friday's here at last!

Bit lucky to have missed it - left a bit early (the sky looked a bit ominous so I thought I'd get on with it), got the legs spinning and got to school five minutes before the heavens opened.
