01.01.11 - A day so unremarkable that I truly have no memories of what occurred.
02.01.11 - (te + Sup/down - N-# + solmud + I☼ + d∞ + Mfresh +Tcold + PR) x PopnDom = τ►
Where:
| te | early start |
| Sup/down | hills |
| N-# | the extra gears I wish I had |
| solmud | that unique colloidal suspension of Lower Greensand/chalk and mulched native leaves in meltwater-diluted horse poo-brown water |
| I☼ | suprising and welcome midwinter sunshine |
| d∞ | the view from Holmbury Hill that's impossible to tire of |
| Mfresh | non-central London air |
| Tcold | initially frozen toes that gradually thaw |
| PR | realising the perfect tyre pressure halfway into the ride |
| PopnDom | excellent company |
| τ► | time ideally spent |
03.01.11 - a day of waiting around; spying on the soon-to-be competition; learning about the barely-hidden poverty in one of richest cities in the world; and wondering just what to do about the really quite astonishingly muddy bicycle in the garage that wasn't there two days ago...

Actually, that's perhaps being a little too generous with the interest level provided by the clouds. It was probably more like this:
Things to do this year (not resolutions as those are merely made to be broken): extract finger; write viable business plan and implement it; reforge long, lost friendships; embark upon more for-leisure bicycle rides; realise that, even though maths & physics exams have been aced with no revision so far, college work outside of colege has its place; actually at least start to learn to play the damn drums, and who knows, maybe the ukelele too; make more delicious cake.
