No rain, not many vehicles, and a fast commute on the fixed. A good start to the year.
Tales from today's commute....

Had some drunk fool kick a glass at my foot on NYE and it's swollen by my ankle. Hurt pushing hard and starting from a standstill but still managed a 5th place on strava

First commute of the year was business as usual, just routine, it was the first commute with the new wheels on the fixed, could tell the difference, much nicer to ride and a little bit sharper response when I lent into my stroke, bike felt like it did when new.

First time this winter without the skullie on. I was boiling! I might even put the thin hi-viz jacket on next time.

Got half way to work today, and realised I'd forgotten my trousers. It was then a choice of:
1. wearing a work shirt with my cycling tights and looking like Max Wall (youngsters should Google him).
2. phoning the wife and risking the tongue lashing for raising her from her slumber.
I phoned the wife.

1st commute of the year and homeward bound i hit a new pothole with the rear wheel that has been washed out with all the floods .
Teach me not to run my magicshine on the back roads as it was not that dark but i did not see it till too late and ended up with a snakebite puncture right near the valve so i had to bin the tube .

If you are going to cut me up by pulling out of a side road, causing me to swerve round you whilst you are fiddling on the phone, just make sure it's not the neighbour you do it to.
Didn't say anything but her cards are marked. It's was 3 miles from home. Fortunately you did not realise it was me, and I nearly gave you a matching dent in your bumper, this time cyclist shaped.
PS this is the lady over the road that drives like her cars are dodgems, the number of prangs she has are crazy, and she only passed a cupple of years ago after numerous re-tests. Do it again and I'll have you...
