I really should make an entry explaining my lack of entries...

( Some vague, not very exciting ramblings about my life, but then, isn't that what livejournal is for... )

Vincent's Condom Story #1

Having read and enjoyed steer's many tails of embarassing things that happened to him, I though I would add some of mine.

( What happened when I bought some condoms and went to visit Trash )

Vincent's Condom Story #2 (of 2 - don't worry - there's no more)

I'm so awake today. I'll throw this story online too.

( What happened when I tried to buy some condoms in Vanbrugh )

Cycling in the sun

I went out for my first big cycle ride of the year this afternoon. In theory, about 15.5 miles, plenty of off road, round the roads and bridleways south east of York. It was great! The fields were all packed earth, which is fun to ride across (if a little rattling). I've been running over the winter and I'm sooooo much fitter than I was a year ago. I can remember cycling down to Cycle Heaven at the other end of Bishy Road (maybe 2.5 miles) at Easter last year and being a bit dizzy when I got there.

The only bummer was I picked up a flat somewhere, and at about the 10.5 mile mark felt the rear tyre going. It was gone by 11.5 miles, so I had to walk the rest of the way home. I suppose I should carry a pump, but that's the first flat I've ever had on that bike, and the little computer on it says I've done 650 miles (and I've done plenty more without the computer). Still, it was a nice sunny day, and it's all exercise. I even ran for a bit with the bike, but it was a bit hot for me to run. I ran over the winter, where you worry about keeping warm, not cool.
