Twas I.
My descent down Archway is always a bit ginger in the mornings as
a) The Nodders get a good run on me down the hill (Ijoin by the Winchester) and I like to let them feel triumphant before I humiliate them on Junction Road.
b) Wet road + diesel + metalwork + 110psi Pro Race tyres = bit slippy
c) Vivid mental images of frame self destructing on a big bump and flinging me down the road into the path of a bus haunt me.
Also have just readjusted the front brakes - needed to bed the pads in a bit.
These are my excuses and I'm sticking to them.
