Tales from today's commute....

[Drago]

Riding home tonight, downhill down a single track lane at a good lick and almost got had off by a badger
The dangers of the rural commute, eh?

I often have problems with badgers, hares, Rabbits, foxes and deer. A hawk dive bombed us on the motorbike a couple of weeks ago.

I'd like to get close to the local wallaby on me bike!

Wet, wet, wet and more wet. Surprisingly enjoyable though, full of cold and think the excerise and fresh air did me good

Summer's over. First signs of overnight frost on the fields. Should've put knee warmers on...

What the hawk was on a motorbike!

Well day 1 of my new resolution went sort of ok. There was no gesticulating at traffic in a bad way or swearing and shouting at drivers. There was some mutterings under my breath though. I did wave to 3 drivers for being nice to me.

Yesterday, rain, puncture, snapped front mech.

Very mild this morning with even a hint of sunshine.
This was the last morning commute of the school summer holidays. Let battle commence tomorrow with all the school run drivers. Plenty of other cycle commuters on the route today... including a very quick one

I was just saying this to a lad at work who started commuting by bike yesterday. I told him when he gets a can't be bothered day, just get on the bike, because within 5 minutes he will be happy.

I wish that were always so. When I have a "can't be arsed" day, I still hate it an hour later when I get to work. Some days the mojo just isn't there.

Whisper it quietly but there was hardly any wind today. Also a dry commute home as well. Saw plenty of cyclists out tonight, must have been getting their fix as the weather last week and over the weekend (though Sunday was nice in the morning) has been pretty miserable.

Are you copying me Squire?.. exactly the same for me. No wind, no rain and lots of other cyclists. 'twas a nice commute.
Stepped through the door and it started to rain.

I'm not worthy to stand in your shadow, never mind have the balls to try and copy you

Bless ya mate...
And this is from the iron man who's mileage eclipses all others on MCL

Well after about 3 months as a cycle commuter that is the first proper soaking I've had. There were points on the way home tonight where a paddle would have been more use than pedals.

Serves me right for deciding a week ago to cycle regardless of a bit of drizzle or light rain!

Oh and got my first puncture too thanks to some kind soul leaving a broken bottle on the cycle path.

Still better than the tube
