Bethnal Green Road has the strange property of being the last road in London to dry out after rain, so when I look out of the window in the morning to decide whether to skate into work, I don't pay much attention to its surface unless it's under sheets of water: I'll be back on dry land a mile down the road anyway.

Today was different, though: ultraslippery all the way round. Very little traffic, though: I think the City workers must be all on holiday still, because there was practically no congestion anywhere along the route.

Later this week I will recap on the current weights status, but for the moment please just note that my quads are sore.
