Ah bother. Well done All Blacks (playing in white). And well done Scotland - good showing to get level. ABs always ruthless. As per. Hey ho.

At least we didn't get nilled....

Hurrah! The sun is out at a weekend, so I went out for a bimble to Rainham to test out my "new" bike and position. It was fab. I haven't done a longer weekend ride since London to Brighton what with one thing and another....

Thank you to Kate @bikefit.bsky.social for my bike fit. Should have done that years ago for all I "just" commute and bimble about to eat cake at weekends.

Thank you also to the gents at London Bike Studio for setting up my new handlebars. What with that and the bike fit it's almost New Bike Day!

I spent pretty much all day at work peopling. I do not love peopling. I like it in short bursts with quietude in between. I was exhausted by lunchtime and then had to spent the best part of 3 hours in meetings.

I am completely wiped out. I need about 3 days off.

Busy bike and car lanes out there today. Bit drizzly and still surprisingly mild. No point in #ShortsWatxh yet. Not frosty enough (though lots have gone for the longer kit already)

Counts at 652pm (I checked the time on my phone today)

I saw another plain clothed police car today.

I also had part of a bike fit. My bike is getting a couple of upgrades too! I should have done this years ago.

Slightly soggy evening commute home. And on further reflection, I like the expression "plain clothed police car" so I'll be using it more.

Anyhoo. Busy cycle lanes out there this evening. Counts at about 635 before the rain started. @cs3cs6count.bsky.social

Not sure i was quite awake this morning on my cycle commute. Riding up to Mile End station a police car went past all blues and twos. "Ah," says I to myself, "a plain clothed police car."

I meant unmarked but clearly that word was a bridge too far. (I am very tired after a too short sleep)

Hey friends - check out this cute little ball of feathers!
Checked in on them this morning - can confirm, still bloody beautiful.

Had a fun evening at the London 3 Day on Friday (sadly being a bit poorly overnight meant I couldn't go today). I think a madison elimination race is my favourite thing ever.

What's better than a madison or an elimination race? A madison elimination race! Or "watch the commissaire".....

I even participated in #Shortswatch today. Shorts. On 30th October. Knees were a tad chilly but not too bad this morning.

Anyhoo, here are the counts for today, a mildish, dry Thursday during half term.... (approx 635pm) @cs3cs6count.bsky.social

I got the promotion at work I was going for. The application process has been absolutely horrific and I hated every second of it. I am thrilled and relieved to have got through it. Yay me! (I have been bouncing about like an idiot since I got the news)
October 29, 2025 at 7:58 PM
You can tell i haven't commuted for a month. Totally forgot to put yesterday's scores up (they're in the next post for completeness).

Counts today (a soggy Wednesday) at around noon @cs3cs6count.bsky.social

People! Have a roadrunner to grace your feed!

Look at this guy and try to tell me birds aren't descended from dinosaurs. This is definitely a little velociraptor....
Visit number 3 in half an hour, clearly he hasn’t gone far in between trips 😉

He left a couple snacks in the bowl so must finally be getting full, for now. 🪶
