Tales from today's commute....

It's always good fun racing a fellow commuter and you both know the score.
Nice one.

When he turned off, I get the impression that he was actually just out for a leisure ride. He seemed to cycle to a car park so might have driven there.
I saw 5 other cyclists today. 3 of which I regularly see in the mornings.

Nobber behind the wheel of a &T truck who doesn't understand the meaning of "Give way to oncoming vehicles" is always a joy to meet here

So much water around this morning I thought I was on a pedalo

Cold and frosty this morning, and the sun was just starting to shine at 7,15am, it was a really nice bike ride into work.

On the way home the sun was still shining but the head wind was a killer,my average speed was 8 mph, my legs still ache now and I've been home for 2 hours.

Looked down at my Garmin on quiet country lane lifted my head to see a Micra coming at me on my side of the road overtaking a line of cars, s*** myself is an understatement!

i have lost count of the number of times that's happened to me. if i look up early enough, i find riding no handed while waving my arms about often gets a good reaction - not recommended on bumpy roads though.

I did have to wash the bike bofore riding it this morning though

Sure I could see some dirt on your bike tonight, must have missed a bit

Nice little tailwind for the way home today, traffic fairly light, good not to need lights either way too

Oh yes. The chain is a mess after Friday's salty wet roads. Currenty letting fresh oil sink in before I clean it.

Looked glorius tonight but after the weekends soaking, I decided tonight was a rest night and bought milk and yoghurt at lunch time, as I planned a short ride back to the flat tonight; I was tempted to leave it in the works fridge but I needed the milk for this cup of tea I cant recall anything untoward other than the Bright St Rbt was relatively empty and I barely had to giveway.

Lots of traffic on tonights commute - do these people enjoy sitting there ???

I managed to average nearly 22kmh over a distance of 20km.
Even got a PR on Strava ;-)

 

[Shut Up Legs]

Perfect commuting conditions this morning: no rain or wind, and 7°C. I wore short knicks and short-sleeved jersey, and let the climbs up the various hills warm me up . A faster than usual commute.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Just shy of 40 miles round commute today on the ice tyres, got Friday legs already!

I have this strange idea that you and Fossy are the same person. You are the antithesis of the other. You "pass" each other on the way to/from work but actually, you never leave work and never sleep.

Has anyone seen them on a ride together?

Fight Club Potsy/Fossy

Funny you should say that. Potsy has a red top on aswell. Deja vu.
