Tales from today's commute....

[Sheffield_Tiger]

The tarmac is taking out a restraining order against me for the number of times I threatened to kiss it this morning. Naff tyres rather than anything else, it was only a bit slushy

Glad it's Friday 2 days off to recouperate as ''tis been a tad windy!

 

[Simontm]

That wind was horrendous. Sudden gusts threatening to take out the front wheel as well
Numpty count:0

 

[Jenkins]

Quite cold (-2°C) this morning but no ice thanks to the strong winds yesterday afternoon drying the roads before the temperature droped, plus Suffolk Council getting the gritters out early.

 

[Reynard]

I chickened out and took the car...

 

[Lonestar]

I chickened out and took the bike.

I checkened out this morning as well and used my 13 hybrid again instead of the intended Whyte Sussex due to it being frosty around here again and prefering a more upright position in those conditions. Stil looking damp for the return trip.

 

[Shut Up Legs]

I just used the bike, like I always do.

It was 33 degrees on my commute home today, and is predicted to reach 38 tomorrow. Despite that, I took a longer route home (33 instead of 31km), and my speed was at least average. I think I might be acclimatising to this heat. Which is probably good, given that in June, I'll be riding the Italian and French Alps, and French Pyrenees, in the European summer.

I managed to clock up just over 500km for this year until a week ago. Since then it has been ice, ice, ice and below freezing with a breeze, which makes it well below freezing. Commuting 20km at 5am is no fun in those conditions and so the bike is away until conditions improve a bit.

Back on the bike today after a week off whilst travelling with work - very wet (unforecast) but otherwise quite pleasant.

Horrible queue back along the Embankment for those in vehicles, as they've shut two of the approach lanes to Vauxhall Bridge and dug a dirty big hole there. Thank god for CS8 on this occasion...

Well my knees seem fine today after some issues with them last week.

Started my new role today and haven't been able to secure a bike parking space in my new building b I therefore have the joy of a 200 yard walk through Croydon in lycra

Hope you have your knees covered.

Time for another Haiku:

Studded tyres off
No more cold weather forecast
Slow puncture and wet

Shouldn't a Haiku be 5,7,5 syllables?
