Wow, what a brilliant day this was!
Preparing myself and the bike for the track first time, getting to the station, reading few articles about court cases related to software patents. Arriving at Herne Hill, realising that it's wet, way too wet. Riding to the track, getting told that the day is now washed away.
Phew, what a relief! I didn't need to ride on that lousy track nor did I need to participate in the introduction session but I was able to worship the silky smooth streets of London. … where the car drivers are giving you space all the time, where the buses are not blocking your way, where the pedestrians are smiling on you and encouraging you to push harder and where there are no constructions, no congestions and nobody stops in front of you suddenly.
Yep, this little bit of drizzling was brilliant. I even managed to make my week old bike dirty although it's far from my liking. Never mind, next week it would be better! :)
Damn, how disappointed I am.
