Tales from today's commute....

[Supersuperleeds]

Icy in places in Leicester especially the cycle paths, even spun the rear ice tyre this morning, way too much power going through my legs

 

[ukoldschool]

In your face horizontal snow this morning, oh and a head wind as well

 

[MichaelO]

....just hoping for a payback tailwind home tonight. Hail hurts.

 

[palinurus]

Falling snow for me this morning, and before that a brief period of very heavy sleaty rain.

 

[Jenkins]

Dry, but bitterly cold in the wind this morning. No ice thanks to overnight cloud keeping the temperature just above freezing.
Just been out to the shed to make sure the Voodoo 29er is ready for tomorrow's 6am start to the commute with -4°C forecast for overnight

Another perfect day to ride to work

 

[ukoldschool]

Icy today! brrrrr

had a close pass as well from a Citroen people carrier mum mobile, close enough to knock on the window

 

[dhd.evans]

-2, suited up with double longs and bib longs, double buff and cap, SealSkinz Gauntlets having been toasting on the radiator, all toasty and warm and raring to go.

...

Flat tyre.

...

Well, FML.

Pinged the side of a car with a stone fired at quite some velocity by my rear wheel this morning (probably from the salt/gritting last night). Made a nice thwack sound.

The driver wanted me to stop but I was having none of it and just rode off. While I agree stone chips are annoying (had to get the front windscreen of my car replaced last year because of a stone chip) it was not like I intended to fire a stone at their car. shoot happens.

If I leave today at 4 pm (no reason why not so far), I'll get home when it's just getting dusky.

Was cold this morning but noticed last night the roads were pretty dry, no ice around except the odd puddle.

I'd have been tempted to see how the driver could possibly hold you negligent for that (depending on how aggressive he/she seemed though !)

Snowing in Bolton..............could be an icky ride home

 

[roubaixtuesday]

Constant driving sleet all the way home. Luverly.

 

[Incontinentia Buttocks]

A tad chilly this morning and if I'm lucky it's going to be sleeting on the way home. Brilliant.
