Feb 12th - Day 43 [amazingly late]

The day started off in the best possible way - with a bicycle ride. I took the mountain bike out because I thought the roads would still be dodgy. However, the roads were pretty clear of snow/ice around by me. Very different to Alvechurch! I was about 4 miles in when I realised that I'd left the house without having breakfast. I don't think I've cycled on an empty stomach before. Anyway, I did 12 miles and then had some porridge.
After brekkie, I got the Boardman out and did a further 18 miles in the country lanes [18.06 miles at 12.2mph]. It was ace, but it became apparent that I STILL haven't got the setting right on my saddle. There's no way I can ride 75 miles with a numb gentleman's area...

Anyway, Lucy and the kids had gone to spend the night in London which meant that I was free to enjoy a quiet sociable evening with Robbie Stait.
12 hours later and I passed out after a blizzard of beer, champagne, curry and cold sausages!

Everything that's bad for you in huge amounts.
