I spend so much time with my mp3 player that I think I ought to give it a name.  Bearing in mind that I may have been displaying paranoid android tendancies of late, I think I’ll christen him Marvin.

So.  Having been dropped before I even started the ride this morning (which has to be a first!), Marvin and I headed out together instead.  Me, my music, my shiny new 700*23mm tyres and a relatively mild and wind-free, if dull, day.  I did one of my usual circuits, with the odd variation thrown in to relieve the tedium, and had a pretty good time.

In fact if, as I have been know to, I was measuring my ride on the bird scale…then today’s was a two kingfisher ride.  Not to mention the numerous herons, buzzards, starling and so on.  I even saw three deer, oh, and one “oh deer”.  There were quite a lot of lycra clad two-wheeled beasties out and about too – like me, making the most of the lack of snow.

Cycling time: 2:17:26
Distance: 35.169 miles
Avs: 15.4 mph
ODO: 8500.7 miles

As you can see I made pretty good time.  I can’t say as I noticed the tyres were that much faster, but then clearly fast isn’t something that really applies to me anyway *grin*  I’m clearly faster when I’m not talking so much though!  It was a very uneventful but pleasant ride, and that’s a good thing 🙂
