A few days away from the hum and drum of life and I’ve already forgotten how to function.
This morning’s cycle commute was a case in point, I couldn’t get my brain into gear at all.
The moment I left the house and pushed myself down the col de Norbury, pedalling head first into the icy winds, I released I’d forgotten the windproof jacket. A few more miles of bobbing up and down on the Brooks machine of torture (aka saddle) prompted me to discover missing item number 2, the hoo haa ride and glide.
By the time I’d cycled for an hour this morning, certain essential protuberances had turned to cubes of ice and my hoo haa was non too happy.
I’ve ticked off 17.5km for the Janathon gods, hopefully I’ll be back later today with a running related offering.

There must come a time when you give up on the Brooks. Just because some of us think they are the bees rollerskates does not make them right for you, Brompton now seem to have a couple of decent saddles http://bit.ly/eYOuTX
that’s just not a nice way to start one’s morning. comfy seat = much better.
I’ve got a Brooks saddle on one of my bikes and it stays comfy (have done 35 miles on it with no problem), unlike my mountain bike saddle which hurts after about 5 miles.
I know I really should stop moaning about that saddle. I’m almost tempted by the new Brompton offerings.
