Tales from today's commute....

Lost a Garmin cadence sensor on the way home yesterday, did not notice untill I got home. Why do they use an upgraded rubber band to attach the sensor to your crank? Will go look to see if it is still at the location I lost the signal at when i head home. Will be looking for options on how to better secure it later.

Beautiful commutes, first commute in in 3/4 lengths and first one home in shorts!

South Glos chose today to allow the path to go back to its pre-bus route way, and it's bowling green flat, which just makes the lumpy bit beyond it so much worse.... I still want to see how it will work when there are actually passengers using it and if there will be a shelter. Hopefully there won't be that many passengers using it.

The lights were also out at the Willy Wicket.... Cars seemed to flow better and queue across the non functioning lights making it a lot harder to cross.
 
Nice commute felt good this morning so could not resist having a go at a few Strava sections. Could not do too many as got a race on Sunday.

Knew it was a good day when I saw this

1 second slower than ex club mate and ex 1 hr record holder and TT national champion and Movistar pro rider Alex Dowsett. It was just outside where the club meets on a Wednesday. ( I suspect he wasn't trying but it just made me feel good)

Lovely morning today. Full summer gear on. Decided to forgo the main road route and take it easier through the parks. A very nice pootle to work.

Apart from, at a mini RAB a young man in a car didn't like the idea of giving way to a cyclist on his right so decided to give the cyclist a mouth full of obscenities. Nice. I know him but he didn't recognise me. I'll be having words with his parents later. Little tyke.

Lovely commute in this morning and smashed my record getting into work as I got all but 1 set of traffic lights!

Unfortunately once I arrived to Puregym across from work where I store my work clothes, they'd broken my padlock and stuffed my possessions into a bin liner. Company policy... Not a happy bunny. But what a ride!

I was passed overhead by an Apache helicopter gunship heading up the Thames towards Chelsea. A sign perhaps that the new Mayor intends to get tough on urban 4x4s?

Well, funnily enough, I bumped into his mum on the way home from work and told her about it. She was not happy. Had a few choice words to say about his driving. She's a cyclist too so was not too pleased.

Put my clear glasses on the back of my helmet, pro-style, as my pockets were full. Absent when I got home. :sad:
Oh well- lucky that they were only cheap Bollé ones.
