Was very icy out in Essex today. Had today earmarked as a "big" day, with a planned trip to the Blue Egg cafe. Reached down for some water after 50km, only to realise I had gone out with zero bidons.
Nearly wiped out on some ice a few minutes after that, and decided that today was not going to be my day.
Came back to London, had a sandwich and a drink, then smashed it r0und Regents with a stranger for a bit.
Still managed 140km in total, taking me to about 75%. Looking doable.
