Still bitterly cold in chilly wind but it was blue skies for a change, I was going to take it easy 
after a few seconds thought, I took the scenic route. Nothing unusual other than a drafter

I am the only one out of the 6 other cyclist's at work who is commuting to work by bike this last few weeks. One MD who I regularly chat to was impressed that I had braved the weather. I Called the other so called commuters ladyboys for the feeble silly excuses they gave me. We had some good banter over it all. As with me my choice's are, I walk or cycle and a rare odd time I can hitch a lift, no other choice. The bike always come out on top......Roll on summer though

Melbourne has had its hottest Summer on record, but I'm pleased to say it rained for my entire 1 hour commute to work this morning 
. The rubber flaps I put on the ends of my SKS clip-on mudguards are very effective at keeping more water and dirt off my bike. I put a flap at each end of the front guard, and at the front of the rear guard, and the combined weight of all 3 flaps, including the bolt, washer and nut holding them onto the plastic mudguards, is 20g, so I don't even notice the extra weight.

Much better ride in tonight, wind finally dying down a bit.
Even added half a mile on near work to get the mileage up a little

Midnight ride home, full moon, very little wind and a good five miles without light pollution (of any kind including my own). Love it!

Having a great week this week. My wife is off work, hence i don't need to walk my son to nursery the days he goes. So everyday on the bike so far.

Definitely will do a 60 + mile week. which is a lot for me.
Oh yeah, close pass be a 18 wheeler on this morning commute. really farked me off.

A little lack lustre to start with this morning but two other commuters dangled in front of me on a 1km drag helped with motivation .
Last night, right behind a little crash, two cars at a junction, first one starts to go but realises there is traffic coming so stops, second car not paying attention drives into the back of the first car .
No one hurt and there did not seem to be any damage but it was a very loud bang.
Very funny watching it over and over again at home, the misses could stop laughing every time she watched it

I thought about cutting my loop short a couple of times, fingers were suffering, but stuck to it, legs telling rest of body HTFU. Ended up on the busway chasing a guy in full Mapei kit. Brightened the day in more ways than one :-)

Weather forecast this morning said it is warmer, lying bar stewards. Once again very cold but very quiet ride into work. Only need to do 6 1/2 miles tonight to hit my 1000 miles for the month
