Trust Required

So one of these pictures lacks a distance display, because I stopped pedalling for too long. But I swear my sums are accurate! Also, I had a go on the cross trainer, it's hell.

Agglomerative Cycling


Today is a catchup from my last two sessions. The last time I tried to post, the Elders of the Internet had kicked the Internet box off the table. That's a reference to an episode of The IT Crowd. Explaining jokes is the best part.

Breaching the Halfway Mark

Today I passed the halfway point in my 200 mile "journey". Running is much more tiring than cycling though, so I exhausted myself without much distance to show for it.


It strikes me every year that the most appropriate way to celebrate Valentine's day is to visit the relics of St. Valentine at the shrine in the Church of Our Lady of Saint Carmel. This is a church in Dublin, near the city centre. St. Valentine stood for some wonderful ideals, primarily marrying couples while it was against the law under Emperor Claudius the Cruel of Rome. Claudius forbade marriage, positing that love kept men from joining his army.

Perhaps the actions of St. Valentine in 269 AD are being reflected by the gay rights campaigners of today, who tirelessly strive for marriage to be made legal for all.


And with that, I'll share a token from the delightful and princely Cormac. Happy St. Valentine's Day!

Total time: 9 hours, 3 minutes.
