Road home white over last night and police report of a car going off on a similar road today , still full of man flu
Im getting a bit stir crazy now as i know im doing the right thing

Sunday 3rd

An ‘interesting’ ride in, as the Cock-Wombles were already out!

1. I stopped at the traffic-lights in Normanton Market Place (junction with King Edward Street & Altofts Road)
A Tesla (I think it was?) pulled up alongside, with the drivers only vision being a ‘letterbox’ slot in the (minuscule amount of) snow
The cars smart systems obviously don’t compensate for the drivers dumbness??

2. At the blind-crest, by the entrance to Stanley Marina (Ferry Lane, Stanley), the driver of a white Ford Kuga decided that he/she couldn’t wait, & overtook
I could see the roof of the car approaching, in the dip, the ‘C-W’ wasn’t bothered
He/she forced the opposing car to stop, & l expected to be clipped by Kuga back-end!!

Utter Cock-Womble!!

If he/she had stopped, l would have had harsh words to say

Bike now set up with poggies for tomorrow
1st snow of this winter last night so im hoping it clears by then , it is pretty slushy atm

 

[cyberknight]

Even though the snow had gone I kept the bar mitts on as it was heavy rain,I could barely see the side of the road in places and couldn't avoid flooded sections as I just couldn't see them until too late .At least my hands where warm and dry

Definitely a WFH day!

 

[roubaixtuesday]

Cold, dark, wet.

But back the the normal commuter with road tyres, felt like I was floating effortlessly in!

Similar coming home , picked the right day to start riding again ???

 

[palinurus]

Gloomy, damp. Couldn't find my gloves this morning- put the autumn gloves on (got away with it).

Doesn't get dark much earlier than it does today (15:52, London) on Friday 15:51, stays that way for quite a few days then sunset gets a little later each day from the 18th.

 

[fossyant]

Damp and relatively mild this morning, so off came the studded tyres/wheels and swapped back to the usual commuter tyre/wheels. Trundled in as I was feeling knackered.

 

[cyberknight]

Another soaking this morning,went a different route to avoid the flooding

 

[roubaixtuesday]

Damp, dark, miserable, but at least on the bike.

Only 16 days until it's getting lighter!

Luckily here in the South East we only have on and off very light drizzle. Was very gloomy though.. and cold.
