Tales from today's commute....

[Hacienda71]

Bit wet coming home.

 

[Tin Pot]

Train ride boring as usual.

 

[Tomtrumps]

Well that was (head)windier than I expected...

 

[Origamist]

Wet all the way to Middlewich. Wind was not too bad, but it's still decidedly cold for May.

No extra miles, but June is going to be different!

Wet, cold and windy tonight. Welcome to a Belfast summer's evening.

Going to have my first go at riding to and from work tomorrow.

Been at some HR woman for four weeks to get a cycle locker with no joy. Itll be winter by they time I get it.

So I'll just leave my bike in the changing room and that'll be that.

Distance?

Distance?

8.5 miles from Shotts to Wishaw in Lanarkshire, and they very gently downhill miles.

But it will be may well be a bugger climbing up said gentle hills after a 12 hour shift.

Won't take you long to get used to that distance. Couple of weeks and it will be a breeze.

Nice and bright in London, still quite windy.

City of London quiet as a mouse comparatively this morning, must be because of the half term.

Counted just 1 proper idiot driver and 1 proper idiot cyclist. Not bad going.

Not interested in the idiot motorist, but what about the idiot cyclist?

And yes, tad windy this morning. Lovely morning ride though, just had to work that little bit harder.

Really sunny commute this morning but the roads were still wet from the rain during the night. Took the opportunity to do a food run for the 2nd day in a row, loaded the backpack up and out the door on the hack for a nice ride. Was a bit of a slow one spinning into the wind which was constant for what seemed like forever. The last mile and a half I jumped onto the tailwind which saw me cruise into work. Really glad of the last 3 minutes respite. Just like a round of golf, you birdie the last and you can't wait for your next round.

Setting off from the lights he was to my left; lights go and he cut in front of me and one other, for what reason I don't know, he had nothing to gain.

Further up the road, I was holding a primary position, this clown (now on my inside) pulls out without looking, forcing me further to the right of the road.

A no perception, ignorant numpty then...

Now getting seriously bored of the wind, headwind for the entire 22 miles back last night, missed the rain thankfully as I didn't leave till 9.15 last night.

This morning my legs feel dead.
