Are you sure it's the exact same pothole? If so, that's criminal.

No, not completely sure. I noticed that I had only filed an update so I filed a new report. I would just like to make sure some other poor cyclist does not come a cropper.

Was it a pothole that looked like it it had been repaired previously? If so it's probably just been patched multiple times in the past but broken up again because the hole hasn't been cut out and sealed properly. Even on roads which have been properly resurfaced I have noticed potholes start to form in the same place as they previously were on the old surface for whatever reason (utilities and drains underneath/proximity to junctions or bustops/poor drainage resulting in frequent standing water etc).
The roads are really bad at the moment and I haven't seen any attempts to fix the holes on my commute. I would advise staying well clear of puddles wherever possible for the reason you have just discovered.

On the bromie?
Speedy ride home tonight. Couple of near misses, one guy in a white merc who decided that turning left, without indicating, from stationary traffic across the cycle lane was smart. The other a sodding peugeot driver who indicated right then turned to the left as I was passing.
Clearly these people have never heard of MSM.

Been a funny week so far with a load of cockwombles out and about driving various forms of tin box. I wouldn't mind,but most schools are still off round here so I guess they are still high on eating too many Easter Eggs and they will calm down next week 
The wind is still a pain but it has been dry so its not too bad

Next weeks weather looks brilliant! about time too! Get the road bike out, OH YEAH!!!!
Yep, and boy it's hard work.
Brommies are quicker then people expect though, especially if the engine is half decent
It is nice to overtake and surprise roadies now and again on it

Set my alarm for 6.30 so I could head out for a 25 miler before work.
Looked out the window and got straight back into bed.

I've heard how quick they are and seen it on rides, I've had a couple of short goes on two different one's but not keen on the position. I found it a bit cramped.

It is mid April and there is still patches of ice on the road. Next week we are expecting snow on 2 different days. When does spring arrive?
I have heard they have cancelled this year's spring and summer and will be going straight to autumn. Maybe next year will get some spring and summer.
