I finish work early, so plan on going for a skate / cycle at about 1:30pm.

If it's a skate, probably Hyde Park. Anyone else interested in skating?

Ok, am aiming for 1:45, so that I'm skating by 2. Plan to leave after an hours skating.

Fog for the next 3 days. Won't be much in central London but it might keep things a bit slippery.

Hopefully it'll be ok in the afternoon-ish, slipperywise!

Most of Serpentine Road is usually quite grippy, even when wet, unlike the surface at the Albert Memorial. I expect it will be a lot grippier than the park I was in today.

That was great! I had a cracking ride to/from the Park, though the traffic was near gridlock in lots of places. I pity those stuck in a car. Have to say I'm absolutely knackered now, have had a bit of a hard week exercise-wise.

Oh, a point that you should all bring carbs along to nobble after a session like that.

Was fun. Much more fun that travelling to gatwick to have your flight cancelled... Evil or Very Mad

Cheers for the drills - I'm gonna work on all the many set down tips you gave me today over christmas. So much to think about!
