Week 17 - Not much!!

---

Tuesday 5th June

Broke my record, got home in 19min 55sec, average speed 26.9km/hr. Not bad for London's streets. Riding can be hairy to start with, but (Don't worry Mum!) a lot of people do it and you get used to it. It's good fun dragging off other cyclists till the next set of lights, I beat most off the line and by the time the serious riders have clipped in I've usually got a bit of a head start. The buses are the worst culprits on the road, they'll pull in front of you, then proceed to immediately pull over into a bus stop, leaving no gap on the left, forcing you to go around the right. Most other vehicles are good at leaving a bit of space though and the traffic never gets faster than about 50km/hr. I'd say I (and most other riders) could easily beat a car, bus or the tube to work, I don't know why more people don't do it.


Thursday 7th June

Em has been diversifying herself and has scored a few jobs waitressing at functions around London. After working at another primary school all day she quickly shot off (with one of her Aussie mates) to Spencer House to serve food for a few hours. She said it was quite fun and took turns with the others to sneak a few tasty morsels down her gullet while the others would keep watch. Don't tell anyone though!
