Tales from today's commute....

[Wobblers]

Really nice day to ride in this morning, really pleasant. Pretty sure I saw @McWobble on the way in.

Cautiously poking head above parapet...

Could have been me, I certainly passed through Bebington this morning. I seem to vaguely remember seeing someone else on a bike (it all seems to have been a blurr these days, I think my mind's being addled by the unexpected heat ). Can I ask where?

Heading past Tesco downhill towards Beb station.

Mildly warm on the commute home last night and back in again this morning.

Cycling tan is coming along nicely

Very relaxed ride in this morning. One muppet beeped me for no reason, will remember him. Otherwise took it very slowly as heat was already building. This afternoon's commute will be brutal!!

 

[subaqua]

yes , am out in the country today and the ride to station this morning at 05.30 was great as was cool ( ish) going to be utter mayhem going home.

alcoholic constipation required i think

( unable to pass a pub)

Superb run in to work this morning. Hot weather, but I kept my speed up and stayed coolish, felt strong this morning!. Tan coming along great too, @Twizit All good stuff.

Need one of these - going to melt on the way home - again!

Passed someone this morning in full legging and a long sleeve it was 20odd degrees?!

Passed this yesterday (that time of the year again)

Ha ha, love the ice cream van

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Water bottle is in the freezer waiting for the home trip.

 

[martint235]

That was just nuts!!! I've had ice form in my water bottle before, I've never had it go squidgily soft though!!!

The lack of wind meant I set off with every intention of a slow easier ride home - I belted it in the end spurred on by barely any wind and was boiled by the time I got home, the Garmin maxed out at 33.8. Had a cold bath, not sure if that is good for you but I needed it - Roll on winter!

My daughter started cycling recently and I said to her you will spend a lot of your cycling wishing for the opposite season, and only really happy in Spring and Autumn..

My frozen bottle didn't stay frozen for long at all. 31 miles home, I drank a 750ml bottle, a can of coke and another litre of water

'twas a very warm commute home. I was tacking along the A21 minding my own business when from behind I heard a shout of 'Allez Allez'. I turned around only to see the legendary @zigzag out on his super speedy looking TT bike, out for a spin practising for his 24 hour TT ride on Saturday.

A nice commute home only tempered by some strong headwinds. Like Mr @Supersuperleeds I was guzzling down more liquid then I usually drink.

I can't drink on the move gives me chronic trapped air, tried again today.

Gets easier with practice.
