It was great to see Jon and Liam in particular, but also Joe. Remember, we did the Three Peaks together, couple of years back.
Joe must have been keeping up with some of my recent escapades on Flickr, because his girlfriend came straight out with:
She: So, Matt, are you actually a naturist then?
Me: Well, yes, I suppose so, in a free range sort of way.
Anyway, that's not the point (though it was a rather amusing conversation, and as usual led to all sorts of confessions and philosophical ramblings), I banged it again in Oxford, and my nice hemp and recycled rubber loafers couldn't cushion it enough to stop me swearing at the top my voice and throwing my hat at strangers (the floppy peak stopped me from seeing the kerb). I got a new hat, and a very bruised toe.
A week later, I don't think I'll be losing the nail, but I did notice soreness after running. So instead of a long run today I went round the block (12 miles, via some nice hills) on the old tourer, trying out some new clipless shoes. btw, new folder now has clipless pedals
, which are to bikes as indoor plumbing or electricity is to houses. As in, essential if you want to get anywhere without messing about.
