Tales from today's commute....

-8 this morning when I set off for work.
Dry roads and paths, even my local park was gritted ... wow!
Sunny here in the outskirts, freezing fog once in town.
Still no snow worth mentioning here, it's forecast for Monday, that means it will probably come tomorrow!

No snow or ice this morning, just a strong east to north easterly breeze with freezing cold drizzle. Much improved conditions on the way home as the drizzle had stopped, just the breeze to contend with.

I had a positively balmy -4 compared to you on the way home, however i do appear to have lost the feeling in my ears!

You should try a commute through Dublin folks. There's a lot of bad press going on bikes vs everyone wise but IMO so far at least 50% of the cyclists are morons who consistently jump red lights and have no lights or useless lights.
Decent cycle ways are being introduced bit by bit but they are causing immense irritation to the car and taxi brigade.
What I did notice though, being unfamiliar with my route at first, was how hard it was to see the cycle route lines in the dark.

Only -4 on today's commute: spring is coming

Took ages to get to work this morning. Left at 7, got in just before 9. B2B was clear Bristol to Mangotsfield, then lots of ice in big and small patches, so walked most of the way to warmley. It was okay from Warmley to Bitton, but then was a mess from Bitton onwards apparently. Re-routed via Keynsham. I came off onto my dodgy shoulder in Mangotsfield, so I'm hurting at the minute...

Wet and windy out this morning. Not nice.

Wet commute # 6 for the year.
Last year to same date x 8 wet commutes

Forecast was for a light breeze, but it has strong enough to make me wobble when stopped at a junction! At least it was dry, and happy to be back on the bike now the ice is gone.

Very wet and windy in Cambridge this morning, trying to decide whet

Soggy as a bog
But better than ice

I was trying to convince myself that as well :-)

The wind and rain made for an unpleasant start to the journey and I even toyed with heading for the train station as I left home. Luckily around a third of the way along the journey, the rain stopped just as my direction of travel changed to having the wind behind me, for all but the last three miles or so. Looks like the wind will be in my face for a good chunk of the homeward journey.
