Well done on the ride, though being a commute I guess you had little choice!

The wind down here has really picked up and it was a side wind coming home but I managed to average 19.3 MPH!! For some reason I just had the legs today and felt really good on the ride home
That's a great effort

Bloomin heck........I'd need a strong tail wind to average that!
I'd need a car

I only live 5 miles from work, but it is a lot less stressful taking longer routes than the direct route which is along the busy roads of Leicester.

With the weather you have, it would only rust

Ha, ha..........true. I have my eye on yet another saddle to try. Can't afford to waste much more on them but this one is cheap and gets good reviews. I believe it is supplied on some audax type bikes.

I dont have a problem with the one I got the other month now. Though i still get a little sore after a while, though it's not really saddle related as far as I know, the new shorts have helped.
Oh and the cybermen are on at the weekend so have a word with the Doctor they have an anti rust alloy I think.

Don't blame you. Detest the wind myself. It's one of the reasons I go out so early in the morning. You sometimes get a couple of hours before it picks up.

You would have been one of the 50+ cars I over took
. If it wasn't for the cars clogging up the roads and the traffic lights I probably would have got an average of 20 MPH+ ! Pretty happy considering I'm on the standard tyres my bike come with!I bought some Michelin pro 4's but I just need to get some lighter wheels for them to go on now

I had one of those this week, fitting a new chainset ect.. guess what it was sunny.
Good to know, keep the non essential maintenance and upgrade tasks for the rainy days
I need to tighten some spokes on both bikes and clean them up, I guess I'll be doing these tomorrow.

I get wet i get wet, cant get any wetter than on a fishing boat (I used to work on creels boast off the coast of Skye). I just am not keen on setting off in the wet, body being cold ect..
