Just had an awesome wet roll around Cheshire, using Strava for the first time. I love the contrast with London. I clipped in to my shoes outside my front gate, and clipped out again 1 hour and 15 minutes later, without having to stop once in between.

Did have one oh shit moment though - you know that video of the wildebeest or whatever it is taking out the mountain bike? Well, I was riding through Delamere Forest when a fearsome baby rabbit leapt out of the verge and tried to knock me off. Luckily, I knew that they are always more afraid of people than people are of them, so I puffed out my chest, let out a huge roar, and fortuitously it retreated before it could do me any major harm. Also saw a massive bird of prey of some description, but it was too far out of the corner of my eye to make out.
