Tales from today's commute....

[MickeyBlueEyes]

Another wet very wet commute this morning. Great temperature though, so base and ss jersey was just fine. Went past a couple of folk in full scuba diving gear who must of been boiling inside, give me fresh rain any day of the week.
Weather looking dry for the rest of the week from lunchtime today, a week of two halves...

Missed a drop curb this morning, bugger

Perhaps I should've asked myself that question more thoroughly, seeing as I ended up in Hospital with my heart acting up again Just got home.

Take it easy.

Ouch...

Very wet. Rather warm. Dry shoes.

5 near misses with pedestrians that think a bit of rain will kill them so dash into the road. Nope folks it's not the rain that will kill you it's the car or bike you stepped out on.

PS you can tell it's our bike to work day. Wet again.

Very mild this morning. I thought it was going to rain, it sure threatened it, but just stayed gloomy all the way in.
Nice to still be in shorts and s/s shirt at this time of year. Temps are meant to be dropping from tomorrow.

Heard a shout of 'CYCLECHAT' in Bickley... was it you @jonny jeez ?

Moderately wet but should be dry this afternoon Fewer numpties than usual but set off earlier than usual before the schoolrun/late-for-work traffic.

Any recommendations for replacement brake blocks that will fit Miche (I think) calipers? Need something that might actually slow me down when there is a bit of water on the road this winter (yes I know I could clean the rims but I'm lazy...)

Missed the rain yesterday as I as in Milton Keynes but very much waterworks later as I had to tell my daughter that our cat was having to be put down today
So no ride today either nor tomorrow as have to be in London Bridge in the evening so will have to bang it out some on Friday

First commute last night in the dark and wet. Despite 2x front lights I was nervous all the way home. Usually these things don't bother me but they did last night. Probably getting more risk adverse or I may just get more comfortable the more I ride in the dark and wet.

Is you commute rural or town?
What is making you nervous?
