No apology. FFS !
Dropped car off at garage, bike sprung from boot, off I set for work. Added on 4 miles as it would have been a bit short. Tropical again !

So I was having problems with my chain yesterday. I thought I fixed it in the afternoon but this morning I heard a massive CLUNK from below me as I was pedaling to work. Didn't think much of it but a few pedal rotations later and the chain came off :/
Not what you expect from a chain that has done less that 250miles. Ok it looks a bit dirty, but that is just surface dirt from a damp ride yesterday, it's been well maintained, regularly cleaned and lubricated.

In between here and there
Crap morning, all kitted out went to put my boots on and remembered my right cleat was buggered and ment to put the spare on last night so spent a few minutes doing that, then went to put the bike outside and let the Garmin warm up while I get my helmet and rucksack on and the back wheel was rubbing on the brakes. Buckled wheel, whats worse than that the rim was knackered, seems to have gones massively downhill this week since I fitted some new BBB pads Front one perfect still and cannot find anyone locally selling a rear only. Pissed off to say the least, missed my ride and it looks like I am going to have to buy a wheelset. hmph
maybe it's gone to pieces after the near miss..

It's too hot, nearly melted on my trip into town and back out. Sat in the office in my kit as it's not worth getting changed when I leave in an hour.
Came across a guy going fast on a nice looking MTB with slicks, luckily for him I was going a different way
.
Then had a motorist tell me my rear lights are too bright, after responding four times with "there the same as brake lights", they wound their window up.

120 miles of commuting in three days now. So glad it is Saturday tomorrow, looking forward to a lie in and hopefully a ride in the daylight

[QUOTE 2235954, member: 1314"]Well. Only used brakes once in 30 mile round commute today. Well chuffed.[/quote]
You obviously aren't going fast enough
