Left the house late, got stuck trying to turn right at a T junction, slow moving traffic but no-one would let me out, got caught just at the next set if lights which has a long phase. Sprint out of them when they changed and through the next to sets with traffic behind, then got overtaken fast and unnecessarily by a Royal Mail van. He immediately had to brake for a queue if traffic and I just blasted past them. Knew I'd struggle to make the train at this point so cranked it up a notch. Ten minutes of going flat out including a bike path straight to the station. Got there with shaking legs and heaving chest, train is delayed by ten minutes.
Good, rambunctious fun though.
