  1. Here on the Wirral, it's been stormy night. I didn't sleep a wink. Waiting
    for it to die down a bit before going out on the bike!

    I've got to work out how to remove a few fallen trees before anything
    moves in or out of this house.

    Was blowing hard in Southampton as I rode home from a friend's party at
    about 1.30am. I've rarely heard wind like that (at the top of the hill in
    Bitterne) -- possibly beacuse there was very little other noise at that
    time -- just a constant roaring wind through the trees. It was a great
    christening for my new Lumicycles.

    I found it quite hard to stay upright on the more exposed sections of
    the ride home last night, for sure.

    Phew - I don't feel so bad about my fence now.

    I used gears on my ride home last night that I haven't used for
    months.

    Fortunately, the motorists seemed to be leaving me a bit more wobble
    room than usual.

    Gears? Gears? I have now become a master at sprinting in a hunched over
    aerodynamic position as 72" fixer is not a good call when trying to ride
    up a hill into a headwind! ;-)

    There were very few around yesterday evening, which was definitely for
    the best.
