Friday loomed and so did a weather forecast of heavy rain in central London from about 10AM.
Packed rain jacket and set off. Friday outer suburban rush hour not so heavy,
but realised inclines are ever present and the normal, nearly counterbalancing downhills are clogged, so the bits of road you know, (out of rush hour), to be 'quick', are just as slow as the inclines.
Not knowing EC2 succumbed to Weatherspoons filter coffee, and returned along the Embankment to see how the Cycle Highway is progressing, through Kensington Gradens,with a pre-planned cake stop at Makan in Ladbroke Grove, where I sat out the only heavy shower. Cycled home along a wet A40 to avoid the myriad of traffic lights and pedestrian crossings along the Uxbridge Road. Such loud.
Got home in a much better state than Tuesday.
