Well, I opted for the mountain bike. And I did about nine or ten miles.
The drawback was that I had to stay on at work for an extra twenty minutes to catch a train that stopped at the required station. But I must admit, a five mile cycle home ( with a couple of gratuitous sprints, just to turn the legs over, and give the cardiovascular system a bit of a work-out) is a pleasant jaunt, compared with a ten mile cycle home, which is just a bit too arduous to be much fun.
But I did miss that road bike. If the weather stays like this, I might give it a go next week.
And now I'm wasted. And I've still got to type up a chapter and THEN go out to see J's daughter and granddaughter, and their two new kittens.
Which means plenty more energy will be expended providing a kitten entertainment service, which if you don't mind me saying so, is something I'm particularly good at. Cat toys, pieces of string and scrunched up bits of paper, anyone????
[Dressage whips are, of course, a particularly delectable cat toy, as cat-owning horse-riders will no doubt be well aware. But fortunately my dressage whip will be spared a good chewing tonight as it will be staying safely in the car where it can be chewed by the stable cats instead next week!].
