Oh God, Impulse Buy, OCD, Panicy, Mental, Night ride Baiku

[Augustus]

All afternoon dream of leaving the big smoke and arriving on the South Downs on a bike. Get a call from Mrs Wu, she's coming too. Throws me somewhat. Realise she's got my helmet, and just gone out in it. Doh, panic. Call in at bike shop on the way out. Buy new helmet. She needed one anyway. Talk myself into another Giro Atmos - then we can share them. Remember as I leave the shop, she didn't like the fit of Atmos's. Clip in, get out and spin fast. Up and over the downs and feel guilty all the way. Bad mojo fuelling my cadence. High five mrs Wu as I pass her near the end of the loop. A couple of Atmos's meeting up in the middle of nowhere. Smile all the way along the last 5 miles. Lovely, understanding, wonderful Mrs Wu. Best ride of my life.

Take it easy mate, don't get permanent damage for a bike race.

A box with a chest of drawers in, fell from about 7ft up and hit the end of my finger[ left index] i now have a chunk missing from my knuckle :shock: It wouldn't be so bad if it was the little finger.
I'm going to get my lbs to swap the rear and front brakes around
so should be ok.
