Might pop down to UCL - I've got the week off work.

Be good to catch up whilst you're still enjoying the relative calm of the 2nd trimester ;)

I knew it was roller racing, Winston. I just didn't know that Caspar had anything to do with it. Sorry. I'm a bit slow.

So, Caspar is at Glasgow Uni tomorrow? Is that right? Reading about the rollers on here and looking at your photos on Flickr has made me feel a wee bit left out. I quite fancy a wee shot at it. Preferably with no-one watching. :-)

Ooh! My knee's giving me gyp this week, but I've still been riding on it. I don't suppose thirty-odd extra seconds would hurt.

There's the minor inconvenience of work, though. Monday might be a goer. I don't start till four in the afternoon. Ta for the invite. :-)

No, we don't go anywhere near Cambridge. Coventry or London was the nearest we got.

I understand..........high heart rate interval training is where it is at!

Overdone still has a lot of improving left to do.
