Tales from today's commute....

[martint235]

I'm getting bored of getting wet now. When is summer?

London might be flipping cold but at least it's bone dry

 

[Simontm]

Fast, dry cycle home. Some fella pushing me all the way down Goldhawk which was good fun.
Numpty count: 2 both pedestrians, both me saying "try looking this way" as they step out in front of me

Horrible, horrible commute
I was stuck in Manchester rush hour traffic in the back of a Mercedes GLS.
Why do people try to drive in Manchester anyway? You don't GET anywhere.

Absolutely bloody freezing this morning
Bloody hard work but I keep going!

 

[martint235]

Bit of ice appearing even on my route now which is a bit of a worry.

Only one numpty today who came past me about 5 yards before the stop line at a red light. He just got a WTF and a shake of the head.

Oh and the traffic was a mess on Whitefoot Lane, what was the A21 like @ianrauk ?

Very cold but bright his morning. I am confused as to why people can't clear their windscreens properly. Driving along peering through a 6 inch hole you have made in the ice does not not count. Only the one idiot today, Mr white van man decided the best place to park his great big van was across the dual use cycle/footpath at the side of the busiest road in Aylesbury. Forcing me, and all the other users to go out into the traffic to get by. Pillock.

My body really doesn't like working when it's this cold - can't get my thighs warm enough to work properly! 10 minutes longer on the commute and a max heart rate of 122, despite really trying, probably sum it up quite well.

Still dry so fairly safe but the odd bit of ice around. Freezing fog through Richmond Park didn't help with my core body temp

A21 wasn't that bad for me. Rushey Green a little snarled but none more then usual.

 

[prawny]

Drizzling again in and around Brum, super tired today, strava suffer score of 28, which meant I was barely pedaling for an hour and a half.

 

[Sixmile]

Very light drizzle in Belfast this morning but majorly tired legs this morning. I was tempted to turn around and take the car but I'm determined to do my first ever January 5 dayer, 3 more rides to go.

 

[Simontm]

Cold legs didn't help today. A few tank commanders around and the usual RLJ zone 2 tossers around - can't help it, they wind me up, especially when I end up overtaking them anyway.
Numpty count:0

 

[subaqua]

Cold, canal was frozen in parts.

the temple mills water splash has dried out and looks like the detritus cleared. 45 mins from home to Paddington . not that many other cyclists out . must be the cold keeping them indoors


oh and the muppett who raced past me then immediately turned left. you wouldn't like it if a car did that to you on your bike so why the fark do you think it acceptable to do to another cyclist.

 

[Ciar]

Fresh this morning and legs dislike me even more, but all in all uneventful

 

[markharry66]

Out in shorts and ski socks plus new thermal gloves not had to wear trousers since purchased them. Cold but found new hassle free route into work quicker and avoids the prat contingent.

I had a very surreal commute on Tuesday, 5 cars actively moved over to give me more room to pass.

Similar this morning too!.

Always give them a thumbs up on the way past as a thank-you, maybe it's rubbing off..
