Tales from today's commute....

[MisterStan]

Where did that bloody headwind come from?
Very cold and a bit of a snow flurry.
Hard work.

At least I reached 1000 miles for the year.

That headwind was a tailwind for me, I guess as I usually have a headwind home, you normally have an easy ride?

 

[ianrauk]

yeah

You ever get the feeling that you look like a right wimp, pedalling like feck in a low gear only to be going 13mph?

That was me today. Harrumpph

All the fair weather commuters were in their cars this evening ... which were all static in a massive traffic jam across the centre of Leeds.

Me? ... I was on the MTB ... ploughing through the slush and around the stationary cars

Even if ... 11.40 mi in 00:57:00 hours at 12.00 mi/h

This morning was OK, just cold. I've been up and down the Busway today for the first time in months. It was sh*te as I had to get off and walk. I'd rather do the 20 miles sat on my arse than walk 250m in the mud.

Very cold but dry commute this morning, totally uneventful except for the sight of a jogger wearing a long sleeve top and shorts
Ride home was tough though, strong head wind and drizzle, very cold and damp by the time I got home.

Yeah but just keep counting those miles (and don't get those new shoes muddy!)

Great to see you this morning but I feel guilty and missing out when I am driving and you are on the bike! - keep up the good work

You noticed? I ended up wringing out my cycling gear into a drain outside before I was willing to hang them up over the radiator!... there's still a line of wet foot prints from the back entrance to my office
