Tales from today's commute....

[Leaway2]

Nice ride in despite the storm warnings. A slight tail wind. Bits of debris from trees to avoid so there must have been some strong wind through the night leading to some fence panels being blown down during the night.

Blustery winds made for hard going this morning. Lots of tree detritus on the roads so had to be a little careful. Thankfully it wasn't cold though. Still sticking to short sleeves.

Lovely tailwind in. Lots of debris as others have noted but otherwise uneventful. So looking forward to the commute home and the inevitable headwind

I think they're referring to Tim Wiggins, who works and races for Wiggle.

I'm on 3700miles commuting for the year so far and am on target for just shy of 5000, having only started properly in April. A full year of commuting would put me at around 6000 I'd guess. I would say I have a mid-sized commute, one guy I meet on my commute has already done just shy of 4500 miles for the year, he works for a LBS. There are those (@Supersuperleeds) who do significantly more.

Indeed, there are plenty of longer commutes (mine's longer, and I have cycled it a few times), but, er...that's 5322 commuting miles. He's on 12,412 year to date.

Fed up with this weather

When does summer start?

Lovely game of dodge the debris today. It was a bit better on the way home from work than on the way into work, but not great to be honest. Quite windy as well. I managed to slice through the headwind on the way home okay though.

Fast ride home . Decided against canal tow path as thought wind would push well.

Realised when got home wasn't windy ..... so was my pie powered legs

Took my preferred route tonight, its a couple of miles longer but far more relaxing. Right in town its had one way working traffic lights for over a month but at last weeks ToB I noticed they were gone and returned to the route tonight. I don't think anyone else has, it was beautifully quiet
