Tales from today's commute....

[potsy]

Gate to Gate ? I only bother with the 'big segment' from Stockport to Parrs Wood - not beat me on that have you ?

I shall have my revenge when the MTB is back to summer mode. Might have to get some slicks...

Might have done

If you apply strawberry lip balm in the current weather, it feels less like riding through a snowstorm and more like riding through a yummy Slush Puppie.

Knew there was a STRONG tail wind !

 

[fossyant]

That was hard. Took the TPT half way and I bet it was my slowest ever time. Only managing 12 mph on the studs on road. Knackered

I missed a bit of wood with a nail in it. The wood didn't miss my leg. I've now got a hole in my leg & my thermal skin suit.. I duno which hurts more.

Not surprised - we averaged nearly 18 on the way home last night - topping out on the SS at 25.5 with me spinning like a mad hamster at somewhere around 120!

Would not have wanted to be going against that wind

LOL!
I think I saw you yesterday, just turning left at the click tower, red jersey/coat I think?
I was about 200 yards behind.

another dreadful week, another 180 miles covered
My wife said I need a medal....

Think I averaged 11.5 this morning, on the road with 35's, hope it calms down a bit next week

Anyone who rode today is a) a damn hero who deserves the utmost admiration, or b) a complete lunatic.

I did an hour and a quarter on on the turbo trainer.

 

[spacecat]

I think I averaged about 5mph into 60mph gusts. It was horrible today.

 

[Hip Priest]

Rode in with a horrible hangover, on my horrible old MTB into a horrible headwind. On the way home the tailwind was so strong that I only really had to steer. I enjoyed the ride home more.

Riding to work this morning, no snow but the cold biting wind made up for it.

here's hoping the commute home is easier

Oh, yeah certainly was.

For those that don't know me, I will claim hero, for those that do know me, well you know I ain't no hero.

46 miles on the ice tyres to and from work today, plenty of snow but none settled, bitterly cold, I enjoyed riding into the headwind, at least then I wasn't getting blown into the kerb by the side winds.

Saw very few cyclists today, one this morning though had shorts on, I said to him either he was a mad bastard or a hard bastard.
