Final cycle for the July 150

Had to get a couple things from Croydon, has is normal for me now cycled there and back.

I am very happy to have completed the July 150 there were times after my accident thoughts of doing 150 leisure miles seemed like flying to the moon,but have risen to the challenge. So would like to thank Phill for giving me the incentive to cycle more than just a very short trip to work.

I have noticed that my average moving speed seems to be getting a bit quicker, not fast by any means compared to others, but none the less an improvement for me. Today's trip back my average moving speed was 12.5 mph don't think I have ever cracked 12 mph before so very pleased with my progress.

Went for a short ride today, wasn't without incidents, first was a woman on a bike I won't call her a cyclist. I was cycling across a major junction lights were in my favour, when this stupid woman decided it perfectly acceptable to ignore a red traffic signal, so I had a go at her for ignoring the red lights, so she sarcastically said " just because your a professional cyclist " to which I replied "no I am not a professional cyclist but I know what a fucking light looks like and it cunts like you that give cyclist a bad name".

Next incident seemed like Deja vu as I was cycling towards Tooting a woman in a side road started to pull as I got within 5 feet of her. I hit my brakes hard, my back wheel skidded but that was all never came off, the noise of my tyres made her stop in time I didn't say anything except I gave her daggers.
