Tales from today's commute....

Decent ride this morning. Trying out clip-on aero bars was fun. Legs tired after 10k yesterday morning.

4 punctures...one is not amused.

Blowy and felt leggy heading to work. Coming home veered from sublime (27mph) to ridiculous (nearly being blown sideways and then battered by hail and icy winds).

1°C at 6am this morning and there was still somone going the other direction (into the wind!) in shorts & short sleeved top.

 

[Pat "5mph"]

I got beeped at by a bus.
The bus driver was right, I should have paid more attention

Turns out I was invisible on Monday's ride!

The winds over the last two days have just killed my legs. Even with a tailwind this morning my legs are feeling it.

Yep, it's been tough this week's morning commute. Nice and wind assisted journey's home though. Which I much prefer seeing as it's mainly uphill most of the way.

New bike is quicker but i am not, legs are taking a proper beating this week with the wind ;-)

also back into tights again due to the temperature dropping back down.

Very pleasant ride in this morning. I dropped my car off at the mechanics and rode onto work down some perfectly tranquil country lanes. A few miles later it was time to play with the traffic but I encountered some really patient drivers this morning who gave me plenty of room and took their time to find an appropriate occasion to overtake. I think the fact that I was doing 25mph+ at that stage helped!

I hope those of you commuting around london are enjoying the rain, the hale stoning, and the strong but sharp gusts of wind thats probably blowing you all over the road

(as i laugh out loud maniacally from the comfort of my warm bedroom whilst sipping a cup of tea -- Todays a good day for an off day)

I have a crime number, someone will be in touch. I've had a couple of calls already, they may visit me to look at the video but I'm travelling on business this week so might need to sort that out later. I will update once this is all complete, plus a link to the video.

I'm not anticipating any further progress with this so here's the video. It's not really any more interesting than the stills!

(For anyone who missed it police have made attempts to trace the owner. Unfortunately the vehicle is incorrectly registered (address to which registered is unoccupied))
