I took the big one. The day from lovely turned out to be shit. I got with my front wheel a massive stone bigger than a tennis ball on the north circular, the bike didn't lose any stability but I got scared, then I kept riding up to the North (M1 entrance) and back. I stop for a coffee and cake and I thought better to give up speed for today, actually, I'm not a real fan anyway, I do it only because the doctor prescribed it... he says that I have to work where I'm weaker...
After feeling exonerated for today I thought now I can enjoy some proper action with the cornering, on my way to the deep east took me nothing to arrive there... (when the brain get used to speed the London traffic became a piece of cake) I start to warm up the tires and of course my sensibility and bang! No, I haven't fallen off, but plenty of rain starts to piss down on the tarmac... I stop for another coffee and cake hoping in a quick drying, but no, it just gets worse and worse. I swim back at home and now that I'm losing my time and your time on this forum the sun gets out. Good night.
