19th October

Well the day after the physio and a cycle to work day. Got up around 7am. This time I had everything laid out the night before ready to set off. Went and had Oats So Simple, yes you read right I had some porridge and actually I quite enjoyed it. That was washed down with some water. Felt nice and warm. However though outside was freezing, as everyone else was scrapping ice off their car I was switching the lights on my bike on. I was all suited up. Gloves, beanie, long tights, shorts, skins, cycling top, jacket and of course helmet. Left the house around 7:40am and the cycle was really nice was all toastie. Have to say most of the drivers were really nice, thanks. Arrived at work about 8:30am.

The return journey as hard going again. Got to Cathkin without any hitches, next was the East Kilbride dual carriageway. I am telling you one day I am going to make it up that road without stopping or go under 6 miles under an hour. Again the drivers were very curtious. All except one we numpty that nearly (or at least felt) like he was less than an inch from my elbow as he did not want to wait till all was clear and decided to overtake me while a car was on the outside lane grrrrrrr, TWAT!!!!! I made it to home, thinking of investing in a panier for the bike but unsure. I did however though I did buy a hi-viz jacket. I will let people know what I think of it though, if you want. Will leave this post open to comments. I am starting to love the cycling, even thinking of taking the road bike out a whirl............well not on ice I am not.
