Tales from today's commute....

Remember its one gear not none!
Think how good it is going to feel when I get the bianchi out when the weather improves!
See you soon

that is a good point

Nippy again. At least it was sunny this morning. Very cold last night, and dull.

Almost deja vu with the weather, for the third morning, apart from the wind being a little stronger.
Forecast to get windier and wet latter today but +7 degrees.

Still feels like January, come on spring it is time to come on down!!

A beautiful morning for a ride in to work. Just shy of 20 miles for me; very close pass (could smell his aftershave close) coming up a hill on a blind bend, then a Merc driver who was impatient while I was overtaking a very slow moving cyclist decided to give me a punishment pass - I scalped the Merc and a learner driver coming down Victoria Road though!

Just a shortish incident free commute for me, testing out my inner thigh I think I trapped a nerve or pulled something on Tuesday night (hence my short commutes yesterday); strange I never noticed it until last night when the damage was probably done the day before

Spikes back on in anticipation of the snow we are supposed to be getting from this afternoon. Didn't need them this morning, lovely sunny ride, not much wind, 31 miles bagged as I don't think there will be many getting done tomorrow.

31 miles on studs - are you ? Well done !

Hmm, just looked at the forecast - heavy rain tonight followed by heavy snow - Great - not. Oh well that will mean the MTB is back out for a plod into Manchester for a meeting first thing

It is hard work, but no pain no gain and all that!

Well done indeed.
That sounds like hard work.

We are lucky in this here London taaahn that we never really need studded tyres.

You need this type of wheel in London.

No ice, not much snow, no hills - sounds terrible !

960 miles so far on them this year. Most of the time I could get away without using them, but I know I wouldn't have done anywhere near the mileage I have done without them. They just give me the confidence to go out and do a proper ride, rather than a straight ride into work.

Need the summer to roll on in so the stores start discounting them to get rid of them so I can get a back up set.

 

[fossyant]

960 miles blimey. I've probably done about 300-400 on them (Snow Studs) since November. Certainly haven't been going the 'long' way on them. I've also tried to use off road rather than on, as they are terrible on road, compared to top end 23mm tyres that I usually use.
