CK-56 miles, 11C, SW wind, mostly dry.
Made it up Bannister hill; I knew it would work before I even set off. I had the fizzy legs. Even braking my saddle didn’t stop me riding to Parbold. I have had so many break over the years, I knew what to do. Slide the rails so the fracture is between the two clamps on the seat-post.

8°C, mostly dry and calm.
November has been a forgiving month, despite the Daily Express headline that promised Arctic Blasts and a blanket of snow. We had a couple of frosty nights.
It looks as though I am heading towards completing a 5,000 miles year cycling. Was it really only 15 years ago when I rode 8,000 miles each year?
I am visiting. When I come here, I can use bathroom scales. Yesterday, it said 15st 2lbs, this morning- 14st 9lbs. 5lbs in one night?
CA-26 miles.

That new IZONE Arc 600, I planned to use as a second light, will now become my main bike front. The Asteri 3 is rated at 200 lumen, but this new one is 600 lumen and the spread is greater too.
It does a trick where it runs on low and flashing at the same time, useful. I can charge it up at work on the computer in a short time. Double useful. The old lights, with NiCad cells, need an overnight charge.
Amusingly, the moths like the lights too. They came at me from the hedges on the unlight roads. Funny little animals.

Glints in the December gloom; each morning there is a fine sunrise over my left shoulder as I ride to work. Evenings, an extended ride in good visibility. Venus is bright after sunset, and in the other direction- Jupiter.
You have to take any boosts you can in this time of year.

Thirty-five miles today, a work day! That’s not bad, and after feeling so off yesterday. I could have ridden more but I got hungry.
The old lights have a charger fault, there is a poor connection that means it does not always charge fully. I will have in get the soldering iron out soon.
