Tales from today's commute....

[Supersuperleeds]

Top job on a big year for you. Well done chap!

Thanks, I don't think I will be beating it next year, this year has just been about perfect cycling wise for me.

Not logged them yet, but today's commute takes me a mile over my target for the year.

This morning I felt like Bambi, very tentative to begin with, got into a good rhythm and was sweaty when I got to work!

Early scoot this afternoon, got beeped by a lady in an MPV bug not sure why!

Happy New Year!

Pa-Pow! Opening up the 2015 account with an awesome commute. I'd like to thank all of the locals, who this morning stayed in their nice warm beds giving me what was 29 miles of almost traffic free roads. First 10 was steady, next 15 spinning into a constant westerly, then the last 4 cruising on the drops. Loved it, hope I get lots more like today!

Roads were nice and quiet this morning as most people had the sense to take the day off!
Nice, straightforward commute in, I'm glad I kept myself active over the break as my legs feel fine even though they had to deal with lugging in the weight an extra metric ton of mince pies

1st working day of 2015 and I managed to get up early enough to cycle in, windy but warmer than my last ride.
Only saw 1 other cyclist, maybe the ninjas are getting better

Similar here, very quiet on the roads, so I might have got carried away and arrived at work later than usual, good job there is hardly anyone in

Lay in bed much of the night listening to the wind trying to rip the roof off the house! I wasn't surprised to be faced with a pretty gusty headwind for most of the ride to work. Despite this, and the overdose of chocolates and mince pies over the last few weeks, still managed a respectable 16.3mph ave on the way to work. If the wind keeps up I may be able to improve that a little on the way home tonight.....

So you've already overtaken me in the MyCyclingLog Stakes?

It's wonderful today, no one else in the office, Vic Pendleton's Mind Of A Cyclist on the radio, bliss...

I think you might just be ahead of me when you put in your commute for this morning.

Take that!

Take that!

Time for a dinner time ride, must keep these Derby boys in their place.

Time for a half days holiday...

Doing a wee few hours of overtime today and it was pretty mild on the 5 mile sprint in from the train station.

About halfway through I started getting a major bang at the top of every left crank rotation. Not sure if It'll be safe to ride home. Gutted.

 

[palinurus]

I guess from tomorrow I'm qualified to start posting on this thread again. If my legs can remember how to ride.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOoOOOO

 

[MisterStan]

I'm looking forward to my commutes tomorrow. It's the 9 hours in between I'm dreading!
