Good on ya, two nights in a row & more miles in the bank.

I'm going to have to test ride the new shoes tomorrow!

What did the drivers do?

Very nice and come in wide fitting too which is good. Mind you I would have to starve for the rest of the month at that price!

They seem to have forgotten what the little sticks behind the wheel are for what they called oh yes indicators...

Hope you're shoes work out ok.

Yuk......pouring here. I don't mind going out in light rain but not quite as heavy as this especially when I haven't been feeling 100%. Tomorrow looks drier but windy. I can see my day or two off turning into a week off at this rate.

Fortunately I don't eat an awful lot Mo & the cats are quite fond of mice!!

Rule 5, jump on the hybrid and go ride through a couple of puddles

Went out yesterday, 1st ride since last wednesday, and done 28 miles. For the first time I didn't enjoy a single minute of it. Not sure if I'm just a fair weather cyclist or not!!!
I was frozen when i got home, the wind was a nightmare.
Sods law dictates though that today, when I can't get out, is a beautiful day.

I'll perhaps perservere for a week or 2 but any more rides like that and I'll jack it in til the spring I think

Theres some beautiful weather to ride in, during the Autumn/Winter, yes its cold, but its not always miserable, and not always cold. I did 42 miles on Sunday evening, in the wind and some rain, thoroughly enjoyed it though. I haven't been out much this week due to an eye infection, I got 25 miles done on Tuesday evening, again a good chunk in the dark (though more street lights I think, than Sunday).

Looks like the forecast is to be rain/showers pretty much constantly for the next ten days at least I think it's more the fact that it makes it so dull and gloomy that gets me down. Actually had my gear on this morning then decided it was daft going out in pouring rain so changed my mind. Dog just got a quick walk instead.

Some drivers are the same around here too, you'd think I had tourette's some days when people don't indicate whether I'm cycling or driving. Its both annoying & dangerous!

Thanks, I'm thinking long term investment as the touring shoes will still be used in the wet on the hybrid.
