Tales from today's commute....

[Twizit]

Did a shorter route today on treated roads, yet I felt very sick as I approached work. Got in the shower & felt much worse, waves of nausea without being sick and I ended up lying down with my feet in the shower & my head by the door passed out. When I came round which must have been after a good five minutes, I had bashed my elbow & there was blood everywhere. I managed to get myself dressed & got some help.

Everyone assumed I had fallen off my bike as the small cut was dressed by a colleague !

Thankfully I am feeling much better after a rest and there are doughnuts in the office today as well. I have no idea what caused the nausea.

Blimey - GWS

Take care and head home early, the mist rolled into Bradley Stoke about 1 ish.....

Commute in this morning was really really cold (ok bike computer said -3). I ended up putting on my Down jacket I had brought to wear later on!

Homeward commute started sunny then the mist rolled in, kept going out of the mist back into sunshine and now the mist has reached home! If this stays it might be pea soup by the morning.

Reasonable ride home but lots of traffic again except on Kew Road where I basically had the entire stretch to myself thanks to a bus holding everyone else up just south of Kew bridge.
I see the new trick is for drivers to cut down the space on passenger side so you can't get past- explains what the bus driver was doing this morning
Numpty count: 0

27km ride home from work. Christ it was wet and windy. Its howling around the house now. But tomorrow is supposed to be calm and sunny. I have got the day off.

Thanks - my support vehicle collected me and the bike. My elbow feels like there is a bit chipped off graunching about under the skin but x-rays say otherwise. Off the bike for a week or so I guess. And off the bass, and the shooting, and driving will have to be given up for a few days too whilst full movement comes back. Funny how everyone assumes I fell off the bike !!

Which hill is this Mark?

One leading down from bromley

Lol that could be many.

I'm think you are meaning Church Hill which runs along the park.

I love that hill. My aim is to hit 40mph on every descent.

Quicker ride in but legs aren't up to full speed yet. Traffic OK except one merc and after four months or so I still can't get used to the crowding of cyclists around lights - especially the slower ones who park up in front of you so you have to get round them on the push off.
Numpty count: 1 the merc. I was heading into Kew Rd from the Richmond roundabout and first he tries to shove me out of the way but I stayed in primary then gave me a punishment pass just before Deer Park

Getting frustrated by not being able to ride this week....things outside of work taking preference. Will have to ride at the weekend and try and make up for it.

See you broke 11,000 miles for the year this morning.

I'm hoping to get out tomorrow, going to head up to Nice Pies and

So I did. Cheers.
Must admit. I'm a little in the cycle doldrums at the moment. Tiny bit of mojo missing. Not sure I will crack the 12,000 this year.

Caught up with another fellow Triban owner while on route this morning and got chatting with him. Everything was gravy till i asked why he was riding a Giant instead of his Triban. Unfortunately it had been stolen but partially his fault as he was popping into the shop for just a few mins an didnt think to lock the bike properly. I think he said they undid the QR, slipped the wheel off and ran off with the rest of his bike.

Was a nice 520

Though on a side note, i think the Giant he was riding was a stolen one too... He bought it off gumtree for £300 has 105 components on the bike and told me the guy he bought it off said he originally bought it for £1000... That doesn't sound right
