barefoot earlier

It's finally reached the point that I wake up in the morning and it doesn't occur to me to go to work in the car (unless rain is hammering on the skylight).

At last.

I did have a very un-mountain-biker thought today though. As my trouser clips slipped off for the 3rd time I thought, "it would be really useful to have a chain guard". Actually, that wasn't the worst of it. I also looked at a skinny road bike wheel with envy for the very first time...
