@RJG I am trying to imagine what an angry baked bean looks like but it is a very funny description

@HarryTheDog I hope you were able to report the menacing oiks to the Police as in Bristol they would get someone down there to keep the peace. Not a nice experience for you, I hope it is not repeated.

Think 'perma-tan' on acid

I always try to engage with other cyclists at junctions.lights etc but invariably get puzzled looks thrown back at me. I wish I could be a vanilla cyclist. Sighs.

After having two punctures on the way too work this morning imagine my surprise when I saw the weather forecast for the journey home and all my wet weather gear is at home, doh!

Oh well if your going to have a bad day on the bike best do it properly

 

[fossyant]

Spoke too soon

 

[Ciar]

happy to say for once it's a rest day for me, so no rain yay!

The rain was heavy on the way home but I decided to embrace it rather than fight it. A good pair of overshoes to prevent soggy feet makes all the difference, then just cyclng shorts and jersey and accept the fact that you're going to be wet.

 

[kevin_cambs_uk]

Drenched. Need to get all the water out of the frame today. Next week looks just as crap!

Cycle home yesterday was very very wet. Felt really sorry for a cyclist who got hit by a 6ft wave thrown up by a car transporter hittinng a massive puddle, he was lucky to stay upright. Came across a guy with a puncture, offered help. He was so pissed off he was not bothering to fix it in the downpour and had called his wife to pick him up. Good job I had switched to my cx with mudguards for the day.

Very wet coming home yesterday. Got some funny looks, probably as I was in shorts and ss top, but it wasn't cold and when you're wet, you're wet. Somehow when I stripped off I noticed I still had a dry bum and the chamois was dry too. Thank goodness for mudguards!

Very wet journey home last night, 90 mins cycling in pouring rain isn't fun when you have no wet gear as you left it at home in the morning

Good news I have for the first time this year commuted over 200 miles in a week, well chuffed at that.

Wet under bike, but fine cycle in except I've buggered up my ankle. Fine when riding but hills and pushing off is slightly painful. Still off from Wednesday so a bit of rest until Sunday.
