I keep thinking about pay day which made the hour ride this morning zip by!

Thinking about money is great

Lol!

It's officially snowing in Poshshire

Journey home was a lot quieter than usual. May be the snow showers during the day encouraged people home earlier, or my timing was good? Although not so good as to hit almost every set of lights on red, including some pelicans!
Feels like it could be a cold one tomorrow.

Black ice on the school run. Abandoned. Put the spikes on (Kenda Klondike XT) now so normal service resumes tomorrow.

Forgot to mention a nutty human encounter on the way back from the morning school drop off yesterday: I had slowed to talk to a friend walking in the same direction. Coming towards us, an elderly lady walking her dog started yelling at me, ‘Are you a man or a mouse?’ She spat at me. She was quite clearly very angry about something ‘I’ had done. When I stopped, I saw the realisation that she had mistaken me for someone else wash over her.

Turns out she thought I was her window cleaner! She apologised and tiptoed off. I really want to know if it was a ‘Mills & Boons’ romance with her window cleaner gone wrong. I’m too frightened to ask the fierce little witch though.

Snow! (falling heavily, but not deep enough on the roads to be a problem)

Is there something Accy hasn't told us?

Got angrily beeped at by a motorist and told to move over on a short, fast downhill descent on my way home today. I was cruising at a nice 37mph. The speed limit was 30mph... Not sure what I did wrong

You breathed? Motons don’t like us bicyclists breathing. How dare we.

My commute in the morning will be by car. It is - 7 degrees at the moment. A 20km ride at 4am would not be very enjoyable.

Hi mynydd,

What a crap day and fingers crossed you have a better day tomorrow. Glad that you were unhurt after the fall!

Grim absolutely bloody grim
Praying for no puncture as fixing it would hAve been a nightmare

Might be bus tomorrow which would be a shame
