2nd February brought heavy snow and no sensible possibility of riding.

This week has started off even worse in cycling terms, I rode home against the tide on Monday night but given the rain and standing water, I took the short way home, so only another 12.5 miles. I've never been so wet when I've been out on my bike. It makes me glad I no longer live in Northampton by the river as there must be a serious risk of the park and the house there flooding.
Tuesday brought a 130mile trip down to Canterbury - sadly by car not on the bike. Canterbury Tales? Well those created by Geoffrey Chaucer are more credible than the ones told by the two drug smugglers who are on trial down there. £15 million of cocaine in the lorry? Personal use only?
Now Wednesday is promising another trip to Canterbury, so once again no cycling. I'm also told that next week I will be going up to York on the Wednesday, so again, no cycling that day either.
So it seems that whilst January exceeded my cycling target, February is a damp squib in cycling terms [and meterologically as well]
