Never heard of it, although I recognise a few names on there.

MyCyclingLog says I have done 418 commutes this year. 4044 miles in total. Counting back I only have 11 days of commuting by car so I think I've done pretty well.

Last night, while riding home from work a-close to midnight (there's something evil lurking in the dark...), I encountered full on creatures-from-beyond-the -grave fog...the thickest I've ever seen! It was pretty intense stuff, luckily it was mild so no ice lurking in wait for me.

Hideous weather, but the tail wind was fantastic!

Only saw one other cyclist which for Cambridge is unreal, and also my only second non stop cycle in 54,000 miles, hit green on every traffic light !

One of the holy grails of cycle commuting

432 commutes/216 days.
6513.74 commuting miles
3 punctures
31 rainy commutes
1 snowy commute
5 foggy commutes
No offs
1 car/me interface (not major)

Yep 'fraid so. Surprisingly very few rainy rides in the south east. This year has been a 5 year low.

I remember you saying a year or so ago about how few days it really rains here and have advised others of the fact, it goes against conventional wisdom but is true.

Nice puncture rate too.

Tough !

Icy. I decided to use the hybrid this morning and it was a good choice. The roads were very icy. I didn’t see much grit about and with the lack of motor traffic the roads looked bad.
So a slow and steady ride in which I enjoyed. It makes a change to be pootling along. I may do it more often.
Chucked a curry in the slow cooker, so looking forward to that.

Rather slush than ice-I've changed my route home to avoid a the ice rink outside the Rheged Centre, mind you Dancing On Ice starts again soon.

Getting in today by bike was an achievement ! Not often I think I should have taken the car, but the bus way was flooded but I cycled thru it at a foot deep, but then for 13 miles my feet were numb with cold. But still made it, the wind was awful, but its all character building!

 

[Supersuperleeds]

A very wet ride in this morning, I found the flooded roads and paths yesterday so managed to avoid them today.

After yesterdays ice, Situation normal.
