The clocks have gone forward an hour, so I had one less hour sleep than usual, and it was a bit of a rush getting to church for 9am (though it felt like 8am!), after mass I get changed and agree to be back before 2pm for lunch - Clare has brought the most beautiful looking piece of pork :-)
I head off on my usual 40 mile training circuit (though I haven't actually done this loop for a while! Out to Harlow, Sheering, Hatfield Heath, then on to the Rodings, up to High Roding (past a number of cyclists heading the opposite diriection) and round Dunmow before heading back home. Instead of heading straight back, I detour via Hatfield Broad Oak and Hatfield Heath (again), and turn back to Stortford.
About a mile from home I get to Hockerill lights and a woman in a very clean 4x4 decides to turn right showing complete disregard for whether I was going straight on or turning left. In anger I chased after the woman who had to stop at a pedestrian lights where I pointed out the error of her ways. Apparently she could read my mind and knew I was going to turn left, I wasn't polite.
Back home after 40 miles, clean the bike and get changed for a fantastic feast with the family! Thanks for lunch Clare!
After lunch we head out to Hatfield Forest, for once it is nice to walk with Clare behind the kids while they head off into the distance on their bikes!
Oh - and Joe has a new bike at last!
