Windy this morning but dry - though the roads were wet. More tailwind than headwind on the way in.
Forecast for home time is for the wind to drop to about half what it was this morning, but be raining.

For a Friday the 13th commute that wasnt bad. In the morning out of the 12.5miles I probably got less than 1/2 mile wet and that was only a shower. At night I grabbed a weather window and it was probably one of the fastest commutes of the year in the effort t stay dry. It worked and I also manage to catch the train which was about 30 mins earlier than the one I usually get. I like Friday commutes the train from London was relatively empty. There were two folk sitting in the cycle bay but before I even asked one of them got up letting me tie the bike up and sit down. Delightfully free wi-fi was working so I fired up GCN+ and tuned into Red Bull Rampage. They folk are crazy

Frosty ride back from work this morning, apart from someone else on a bike leaving my work didn't see any one else.
Yep, first cold commute since earlier this year. Was 7° when I left for work this morning at 7.30am but there had been a frost over night.
So dug out the leg and arm warmers and the Night Vision jacket.
It's looking like today is the only really cold day here in the South East. tomorrow and rest of the week its back in to the low/mid teens temperature wise.

I got the ice wheels on standby having seen yesterday's hard frost. Fortunately, I have spare wheels this year, rather than just tyres, so can swap them in if we get a cold day, rather than ride them all winter (which is soul destroying).

I need to set mine up. Got the wheels, just not put the tyres on them yet. I was a little under-gloved this morning but cut it down to 5 miles so it wasn't too painful.

I also aligned the cassette so it indexed perfectly with the other wheels. Different make of hub, and I have a set of spacers in 0.25mm increments (quarter of a mm), so swapped the existing spacer for one that was very slightly thicker, which was spot on.

Reminds me I need to check whether my old snow stud tyre will fit my new commute bike (unlikely I think- it'll fit without the 'guards but that's not much use to me)

Fake commute today as WFH. Took the CX bike out for some gravel and tar. Got muckier on a couple of back lanes than the mud.
