Tales from today's commute....

[400bhp]

Is the weather always cold from November to March.

It's nearly easter and I'm wearing mid-winter stuff FFS

Nice dry run in though on my "fairweather bike" and damn it felt lively.

Damn this commuting lark.
Weight basically constant for three years, yet had the tighten my belt again as my trousers were not staying up too well.
Even worse my wedding ring keeps coming off, especially when on a drop bar bike.

I'm down to a 28" waist! I'm now spending more on new clothes than I do on my bike.

Or when chatting somebody up

I hate buying new(non-cycling) clothes, I just buy more belts

Or when chatting somebody up

The misses solution was to take it off and leave at home

B*st*rd Sturmey S2C jammed in top gear (of two) just before "the cliff". I nearly wept.

I hope it is just a slack chain and that sorting the tension will fix it, it has in the past, iirc. Not looking forward to the ride home otherwise!

I had to go to the police station this morning, which is in the opposite direction of work so that doubled the commute in. That's still only 3.5 miles but I really enjoyed the extended sprint between Kings Heath and Highgate. Traffic at 9:15am as compared to ninety minutes earlier is surprisingly quiet.

Did the off road route home to avoid fossy, very pleasant

Nice commute in. Saw plenty of the usual commuters.

Went home in daylight for a change and had to battle with a headwind which caused my average to fall to 12mph. Had a cyclist pass me who I tried to draft but was too fast for me.

All-in-all a pleasant commute.

My hands were toasty warm because I found my gloves

20 miles home today, biggest commuter day so far of 52 miles. Back brake on the hybrid has ceased up, one of the arms is completely knackered and not moving, pretty sure the spring inside it is shot. Going to see if the LBS on Saturday can fix it, if not I will ask them to undo it (I can't get the main bolt to move) and I will slap some new ones on it. Just going to have to go steady until then as I ain't stopping commuting.

Nice tailwind on the way home during a dry but cold commute. Pay back time tomorrow morning looking at the forecast

No bike ride today weather took a serious down turn....

I have compensated for this by eating even more !
