Tales from today's commute....

[jahlive905]

One pinch puncture. Replacing my inner tube by the side of the road and a dude who hasn't slept since Saturday asked me if I needed help. He told me he was a flat-earther, high-fived me and rode on. What a great guy.

It was warm today, i went with long-sleeve top and autumn gloves instead of winter jacket. Positively balmy, i almost went with 3/4 bib longs too!

Unseasonably warm today, despite the endless rain. Rode in with a shortsleeve base layer and jersey, spring gloves and the lightweight leg warmers and was plenty warm enough!

Couple more weeks and I'll be able to ditch the leg and arm warmers entirely hopefully!

So glad I gave the bike a good clean yesterday - the new grit and mud has stuck to it really nicely.

I know. I was half thinking on the way in I didn't need to wash the bike yesterday given how wet it got this morning, but then when I was locking it up I saw how filthy it was.

Clean bike you say?

Chucking it down this morning and the traffic was absolutely horrendous, pretty much nose to tail the entire ride. the best sort of commute

Sounds like it! Some drivers seem to have no idea what indicating is as well...

I've just switched back to my regular commuter, I was on the MTB for a few weeks whilst getting the commuter fixed.

There really is a word of difference between disc and rim brakes in the wet - rim brakes are ruuuuuuuuuuubbish.

Yeah, I'm really loathe to ever go back.

Back to the office after working away for two weeks. Was looking forward to getting back on the bike. Half way through my usual route I find the cycle path is closed, for the next seven weeks! None of the alternatives look particularly attractive, not yet sure what I am going to do. Grrrrrrr!

Mildly moist in the way in last night, bit of rain an headwind all the way made for hard work. Absolutely chucking it down as I got ready to leave this morning, but by the time I was on the bike it had all stopped. Fast ride home with the wind behind me.

Wet going into work, stupidly wet when I nipped out at dinner time and yes you've guessed, wet coming home.

Looking to ride in tomorrow but just seen that the Trent is flooded. Decision to be made in the morning as I have to transport my laptop.

Wet roads on the way in thanks to a thunderstorm yesterday evening and further showers overnight followed by yet more drizzle on the way home. I'd just like to do more than one day of commuting without having to clean & re-lube the chain afterwards.
