Today the National Road Race Championships were taking place in Glasgow for the first time, using a 14 km circuit starting and finishing at Glasgow Green. Most of the city centre was pleasantly traffic free because of this. The women were racing for 112 km and the men for 182 km. I was in good time for my haircut so I paused to watch one of the women's races; it was amazing to see the cyclists racing up Buchanan Street and turning fast to go along St Vincent Street, it was a great setting. The crowd all clapped and cheered as they went past.
After my haircut, James, David and I went to Neil and Lucy's birthday celebration and we had a convivial afternoon with drinks and cake, it was lovely to see everyone. I have finished the Jeanette Winterson book and it was tremendous, she is a very inspiring person.
