Strange factoid, for 12000 miles of commuting I have carried a bottle of lemon flavoured water and I have only ever taken a sip twice! I only take it to drink during the day and refill at work.

I don't know how you do it. I regularly take a sip of my bottle whilst commuting.

Same here, though not so much in the winter.

Probably due to me being to puffed out to swallow! Well defntely when I started out.

I lost 3lbs yesterday on my back to back commute, mainly fluids I would guess, maybe I should start drinking

Got F'd over by strava again today. Got into the office, pressed the finished button and it told me i hadn't yet moved. Resume or Discard.

that's 10 miles strava owes me!

Almost got taken out by an old volvo. lots of traffic guy just wasn't paying attention. i was cycling here. He was coming from the left and wasn't giving way. I think i got his heart started with a bit of an "OI!!!" and bit of a swerve. dick.

p.s. lovely morning otherwise

I have about 400ml of water for every 20 miles. However, I can last longer on smaller amounts.

Damn Strava, a segment I have been working on a segment on my commute and was in second position with only 2 second's off pole but it has been blitzed by some dude by 19 seconds? http://app.strava.com/activities/42340908#710644182 Dammmmmmmmmmmn you!!!!!

Going by today's commute: I am an alien... Spotting a touch of sunshine I wore my shorts.
Seems this might not be the right thing to be doing at the end of February. Was plenty warm enough (if not a touch too warm on the top half) but the looks I was given even from other cyclists made me feel like I'm odd/an alien... don't think the scar was that visible nbut perhaps I'm wrong. Will be back in tights though this evening for tonight's commute to college...

Nice and sunny here to, but the wind is biting. Got stuck in a head wind on commute back home and the back of my throat was an icicle by the time I got home.

Just off for a ride in a few, I think my face mask is in order.

Almost taken off by a minicab driver cutting me up in front of an oncoming bus and a pinch point when he shouldn't have followed me across the Belgrave bus crossing to begin with. That's one for Licensing.

Bad ride home.

Came across what looked like a cyclist down in Histon at the end of flyover next to the roundabout. Ambulance & another vehicle present. Just couldn't get into the grove after that. Whoever you are GWS!

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Another peaceful ride home, improved a KOM that then knackered me out for the remaining journey

 

[Nearly there]

I found the only bit of Ice or miles today and took a tumble cuts and bruises bikes fine
