Mice Star Date 57.

A Foggy London. Tuesday 26 February. 11.51 miles, Ave speed 8.3, max speed 21.2 in 1hr 18. What a grey day!  The cloud was low, the air was damp and if the sun was is in the sky it certainly wasn't speaking to London.  The weather forecast said 2 degrees so I took the Brommie which would allow me to return by train if I needed to.

I headed to an appointment in South London where over lunch I was given tips to trackstanding!! Look out Nielsen!! (being the trackstander I met a couple of weeks ago who makes it look sooooo easy!)   I haven't tried it yet and certainly not on the Brommie but I am loving the idea of being able to do it.  We shall see!

On the way back I weaved my way across the Commons from Clapham to Wandsworth.  

The Cateye computer counts miles and whizzyness but not calories. I was told once it was 50 calories for every mile cycled - I have no idea if that is correct. 

I am pretty sure it doesn't warrant the cheese purchases made at Hamish Johnston in Northcote Road. 

 

 These shelves were perfect drinking and non drinking refreshments!

I only go there once every blue moon - but boy do they know their cheeses!

 

I saw some porridge biscuits which I thought might be healthy and cycling related (porridge is often a really good way to start the day for long rides) but felt that 10 miles didn't quite warrant the extra purchase.

I limited myself to two cheeses - a Tomme de Chevre and Beaufort D'Alpage. However, I may be back!

When I crossed over the River I couldn't believe it looked exactly the same as it had done nine hours earlier!

Am looking forward to seeing sunshine  very soon!
