Tales from today's commute....

Just about daylight as I set off this morning :smile:, although was running a little late....bit chillier though as clear skies for once.

Now can the evenings just hurry up and get later please, fed up of commuting in the dark (probably got another 3/4 weeks of it in the evenings, grrr).

Colder than I thought when I reached London. Very civilized traffic though, every one doing what they were supposed to do. It must have been some sort of "Bring your GT to work day", as on one stretch of Grey's Inn Road and Holborn I passed 2 Maserati Granturismos, a Jag F Type and a Porsche Carrera !

What a lovely sunrise and morning. Everything is sunshiny.. a sunshiney London day.
Very little wind and nice and dry. The only downer was a car driver pulling out of a side road on my right without looking and had to slam on the anchors. twat. Luckily one of us was paying attention... and it wasn't him.

Well today i went back to work after having 2 weeks off with a chest and a ear infection, Felt fine and the ride in was good. Chest a bit tight still so took it nice and steady. Bloody finished my shift and I found I had a flat , luckily was the front tyre and good job i take a spare tube and all the junk i need if I have a problem.

Turns out I had a hole emerge at the bottom of the valve , lucky it got me to work I guess. Im not counting it as a puncture though :smile:. Had no idea a new tube could make the ride feel so much different.

Pleasant un-eventful commute ruined by a email from the wife when I got to work. would I like to go to Costco, then Ikea tonight, its open till 22:30. Oh what joy for me tonight.
Theoretically it is a question so you are rightfully able to reply with "no". The follow up question of "are you going to Ikea tonight" may result in a different answer though...

had a community police thingy person shout "SLOW DOWN" as a couple of us whipped past on the guided busway. I had actually already slowed down because I could see him hiding behind a bush in a break in the fence to leap out and shout at people, but he was wearing high vis and looked to be about 30 stone so it wasn't difficult to spot him. I didn't say anything but did think to myself "ha! you should have seen how fast I was going a moment ago!"
Sorry - been away - have they introduced a speed limit for cycling on the busway?
