Tales from today's commute....

[biking_fox]

Nope. Got pretty wet last night after all as the rain perpissted longer. Probably could have cycled today, saw a few people, but the gusts would be quite annoying.

Im debating whether to or not later, it should be a bit calmer but still 40 mph gusts so im doubtful

Sun has just come out here. About 10 mins after I decided it was street clothes and not cycling kit.
Also started a chain of stuff to fill the morning.

No chance! It's not as bad as some places here but gusts are >50mph. 60mph if I believe the Met Office app, 55 from the Apple weather app.
My limit for commuting is about 40mph gusts, which is bad enough for me, especially as they're almost always in my face as I ride home, up the 9% hill!

It isn't gusts in the face that worry me so much as gusts from the side. Head on just makes for hard work. Side on makes for you changing position on the road, with potential for disastrous consequences.

Very sunny here. May yet venture into town.
