Last Sunday I was due to head out for another Rama 9 mission with the intention of clocking up somewhere in the region of 100km however my boss at work decided to scupper all that by giving me his horrible cold virus - okay it wasn't gift-wrapped especially for me - the air conditioning system aided and abetted somewhat but the nett result was that on Sunday morning I decided to stay sat in front of my computer programming rather than jumping on the bike.
All I can say is that was hugely lucky - at least for me - the person I was supposed to be cycling with was involved in a traffic accident while he was riding our route!
I only found out about the accident when I went to collect my bike from the shop - it was having the crank looked at again - clearly I was supposed to collect it in the morning but I didn't get to the shop until the evening...
Thank the lord he is okay but it's another reason for me to have cause to think that someone is looking out for me... It's the same "presence" that seems to get me out of pubs before all hell breaks loose - I think I'll call this guardian - Mother.
Thanks again Mother.
Incidentally the weird crank noise is gone - at least it had gone on the ride back home - it's back to being deliciously smooth - so smooth that I sprinted the whole way from Sukhumvit Soi 3 to Phrom Phong - then I really knew I had a cold - it took ages to recover!! lol
I can only hope Mother is watching this Sunday as I'll be back in the saddle to continue from where I left off two weeks ago - another epic Sukhumvit - Rama 9 - Sukhumvit - Khao San - Sukhumvit figure-of-eight mission!!
