Got home at 9.05pm and started cleaning the bike straight away in preparation for tomorrow mornings SLR. Only just finished and Im staaaaaaaaarrving.
Bike is still dirty but its been wiped down, the chain cleaned/degreased and re-lubed.
Now i can finally have a shower, a cuppa tea and a cupcake.
Its hard work but somebody has to represent the Triban posse~

As part of my preparation for the 1 week French cycling tour in September, I've increased my morning commute. This morning, instead of doing 25.75km with 205m climbing to work, I did 27.55km with 305m climbing, which increases my weekly commute by 9km and 500m climbing.

Was indeed a bit nippy but not too bad once up to speed. Air quality was a bit carp though, could really taste the fumes in my mouth. I always notice the difference between a Sunday morning commute and the same trip on a Monday.

Started with the annoying disappearance of my cycling glasses from their normal spot in the garage, and came off on an icy patch along Hortham Lane. A driver pushed me into a passing space which I could see was a sheet of ice, but he managed to stop and enquire after my wellbeing as I picked myself up after sliding into the hedge. No harm done.
Nice sunny morning almost spoilt.

A 'didn't feel as cold as I thought it would do' minus 3 deg C this morning. Roads had that white, crispy, crunchy type of frost on them which meant I opted for taking it easy. And wow, that sunrise when it appeared, clear blue sky, bootiful.

blooming cold, and heres a little quiz for you
when its sub zero temperatures should
a) salt all infrastructure
b) salt roads only
c) salt segregated tracks only
d) salt pavements only
e) do nothing
CS2 was like a fecking ice rink in places with not a trace of salt/grit/ deicer anywhere. you can guess which option TfL went for.
yet anothr great safety innovation that comes with segregation , how i can thank the segregationists enough i do not know.

Is each council responsible for their own section? I wonder if you can work out where along this cycle path the boundary lies? Though to be fair it was the other side that I saw a tweet today saying they had gritted the major roads and cycle paths overnight.
