The view over the barsOriginally uploaded by heavdog.Here it is folks – proof.

If it hadn’t been getting dark, and had I had some sort of lights (didn’t even have my blinkie!), I might have put in another ten. Can you say obsessive? Nah, not me!But in all seriousness, it’s time. Time for me to, as Luka Bloom sings, “get up on your bike! pedal on pedal on pedal on for miles, pedal on…”
