April 16th - Bike and easy run

Another lovely day, although it started a lot cooler. Worked all morning in the office then cycled pretty hard to the village and back (about 9 miles in total). Finished the go-kart with Hamish then spent the next hour or so trying to stop the kids killing themselves on the slope down beside the house. Bloody thing goes like a rocket - and has no brake! Ankle pretty grim by this point, so I asked if Hamu fancied a run, and repeated Monday's jaunt into Bowmont Forest with him. Hobbling in a pretty pathetic fashion and feeling pretty feeble. Going to have to think seriously about junking the Boat Race if things don't pick up soon.
