A wet commute this morning but quite mild with it. After my 155 mile ride yesterday I wasn't really feeling the normal extended commute so stuck to the direct one instead. Even with the rain there were a good few cycling commuters today, a couple of them top to toe in full winter gear

I've done it by tram today. Drier but not nearly as enjoyable

I had a whole series of close overtakes.... I eventually ended up exclaiming something a little rude!! Got mad and at the next set of lights guessed I just had enough time to get to the ASL... And I did (passing at least some of those that had passed me closely), and the next section was a narrow bit that I kept them behind me until I turned off
so I had my revenge on some (yes it might even have been the narrow UPHILL bit where I was in primary (Kellaway lights and I'm slow uphill)).

Driving home form my temporary employ drinking tea and generally jerking off and doing very little for a large credit card company, I came up behind a roadie in a Team Milton Keynes top. He was cracking along, an easy 40MPH on the flat. Alas, one of the seams on his shorts had split about 6" long, and he had a chunk of hairy arse on show. Fortunately I managed to maintain control of my vehicle despite the shock.

Nothing as gauche as call centre work. Last thing I want to do is talk the the public.

I saw the Google map car coming towards me, so I sat up and waved as it went passed 
A lovely mornings commute today. Back to the extended mileage as my legs seem to have recovered from Sunday's mega ride. Nice, warm and sunny out. A good few other cyclists out and about this morning including a couple who indulged in a bit of SCR... jolly fun and made for rapid progress.
Also nice to see my good riding buddy @rb58 in Deptford. I thought to myself, I recognise those hairy legs..
Is that odd?

More than once I have arrived home to learn that I have left my house keys at work.

For some reason this reminds me of the old spy films when the spy and their handler would meet in a park and exchange passwords:
Spy:"My trousers were not in my rucksack"
Handler: "I discovered this when I arrived at work"
Nearly got knocked off my cycle today by some jackass overtaking from the opposite direction. Instead of waiting for me to pass before he overtook the cyclist in front of him, he thought I should ride in the bushes. I was not happy. In other news, knocked a bit of time off my commute this morning, and slowly, but surely, my speed is getting quicker, as is the commute. The mile long hill to the top of campus (work at a uni) at the end of my journey still isn't fun though.
