Ten consecutive days of the coldest, windiest, wettest, painful hailstone laden miserable commutes for a long while. Topped off today with another hail and rain shower with 40mph gusts added.

Can't believe that this was only a week ago considering the fantastic weather we've has this week.

Made the play offs mate ☺
More of a footie fan (Wolves) myself but I do a bit for Woodenspoon Rugby Charity for a mate and he has got some freebies for todays game :okay:

When we lived in Earlsdon we used to go watch Cov rugby play, We haven't got round to going to a Wasps game yet.

Given my tribulations yesterday, I expected this morning's commute to be a horrible concoction of pain. On the contrary it was a joy and I even achieved my first sub 45 min 16mph+ commute for a while.

No nobbers either.

Given my tribulations yesterday, my legs were feeling quite heavy this morning. No bother, i'll just take the easy direct, easy, downhill and pootle through the parks route. Until that is I bumped into @arallsopp in Bromley, he was heading the same way as me mostly. Oh well.. this will not be a slow pootle then ^_^.

Got to work the earliest I have ever done....

Friday. Had some idiot decide that he'd rather drive straight at me than wait for 10 seconds like the driver in front had done.
Full-on emergency stop and diving for a small gap by a parked car. Have contacted the company.

A balmy 17C this morning and sweating cobs. Legs were a little heavy after a brisk ride yesterday and the crosswind blunted my efforts too. I saw someone 200 yards ahead of me in Tatton Park (with pink aero overshoes), but did not have the energy to chase them down – they were moving at a similar speed to me and I would have blown up trying. Caught them at Hale as they were waiting at a red light. Had a chat and it turns out the chap lived close to me when I was in Wilmslow and extended his commute like I used to. He was riding a very nice matte black Specialized and I think I will ride my best bike tomorrow too.

Agree with your observations there, hopefully he will be in a bit of hot water once the company see this.
