I
left home before 9 AM so I made good time along
the towpath as it wasn't busy.
Mile
End Park is called a linear park and now I know
why! You have to go there to appreciate just how
narrow it is.
The
park has some interesting features. There's an ecology
park which is home to several species of insects,
water birds and rare orchids.
If you're the adventurous type there's aClimbing
Wall and even electric (green) Go
Karts!
I
went looking for 'House',
a work by artist Rachel Whiteread. The sculpture
was a concrete cast of the inside of 193 Grove Road.
It was demolished by Tower Hamlets in 1994! LOL...
I
didn't get to enjoy the park because of a biting,
gusty southerly wind, but I'll definitely go back.
Rode
back to Victoria Park and completed the modified
loop.

The
Novice Cyclist
I've
recently taken up cycling as a healthier option
to my long time hobbies of smoking, drinking
and general laying about and I must admit it
has been quite a revelation. For a middle aged
man who has spent his lifetime with the devout
belief that he is allergic to all forms of exercise
I find myself thoroughly enjoying this indulgent
pastime.
