Spent 9 quid on two cycling magazines. Spent half an hour figuring how to hide them from the partner. :|

Another ride to Cambridge, part of my weekly century ride plan. Unfortunately, caught every possible red light in London & Cambridge and thus missed out on 25kmph average speed. This despite a desperate effort where I averaged almost 32kmph for 20kms. Final average moving speed – 24.9 kmph.
Gotta try harder next time.
Saw Senna For a believer God can be…
Saw Senna.
For a believer, God can be a powerful, inspiring force. For a non-believer, God is irrelevant but can it be a handicap in not having that powerful belief giving you that extra drive?
Aside:
A believer should derive his satisfaction from his belief in his God. Why should he bother a non-believer as long as the non-believer doesn’t consciously cause an affront to his religion?
Similarly, a non-believer should derive his satisfaction from being independent and not relying on what is possibly just a figment of imagination served to keep the masses in check. Why should he bother a believer as long as the believer doesn’t consciously force him to submit to his particular belief?
Let it go.
P.S.: Brilliant documentary. Loved it. Would’ve definitely cried had partner not taken my hand over just as the Imola section began. Loved it :|

2nd metric century within a week. Rode to Cambridge today, about 102.5 kms, and took the train back. Wonderful ride. No hills (unlike the Chilterns enroute to Oxford) and luckily, didn’t get any rain on me, though the roads were pretty wet in places.
Also, trying the Cannondale Synapse tomorrow. If I like how it rides, might buy it as soon as we’ve moved to the new place.

That woman … deserves her revenge…. and we deserve to die.
There’s no upper limit to number of times I can see this movie. Just. Love. It.

Saw the last episodes of latest seasons of both Big Bang Theory & How I Met Your Mother. The 2 of them kept me sane & alive through the long, lonely winters. Really sad that I’ll have to spend the rest of this year without these two fabulous sources of smiles in a boring, grey life :(
P.S.: If you’ve seen the final episode, who do you think the groom is marrying? My money would be on Robin.

The Mayor added that the situation he found himself in was typically British. “I am proud to be British. No other country or culture in the world would have a situation where the mayor of the host city goes into a ballot for tickets for his family and gets rejected.”
He joked: “I suspect Locog has done this deliberately to cheer up everyone else.”
Don’t even try this as a joke with a politician in India!

Just realised that even the marked ‘Live’ news on BBC is sometimes delayed by at least 15 minutes.
Barack Obama’s convoy passed in front of me as I was cycling back from Marylebone some time back and BBC News is showing it on TV right now as Live news.
In other news, cycled to High Wycombe today – only 60kms but about 500m climbing over 2-3 spots. Didn’t have the time or energy to cycle back. Really need to work on my climbing muscles :|

Watching Tour of California 2nd consecutive night (thanks ITV4!) and am happy to report that I share atleast one piece of equipment with the riders who ride at the very top levels. It’s the Garmin Edge 500 – I bought it because it’s cheap and full of features, they use it because it is light and full of features :)
