Tales from today's commute....

[MisterStan]

Base layer and long sleeve jersey plus buff - too much clothing! Watch out ladies, I may have to get my legs out next week. Well they're so pasty white, drivers won't have any excuse for not seeing me!
I don't know if it's down to the weather and increase in temperature but my speed this week really seems to have improved.

For him... it was a good thing you was in front of the van and not the other way round.
What a knob!

Indeed - good point! Just cannot believe if you are going to run a light that you are not extra vigilant!
Thanks

Warmer and not as windy this morning, though I am really starting to feel the extra miles I am doing, done over 450 miles this month already.

Ride was quiet apart from whenever I went over a rough surface, bike squeaks when the road gets bumpy, it's driving me mad.

About time you cut the mileage back.. take it easy for a while

Thought I'd fixed my squeaking saddle. Apparantly not..

I'm enjoying it to much, think my target is a bit unrealistic, I have set myself another one but I ain't changing my sig.

Well, you still have 3/4's of the year to go and you are all ready 3/4's the way through your target.

Talking of dodgy cycling in Cambridge. I was crossing Victoria road at stretten ave-saint Luke's rd stopped at the lights. They turn green I pedal a young lady with a big basket decided to undercut me, made me jump as I'd just looked over my right shoulder and seen nothing. Pretty sure she's done it before.
Saw a nice bike as well, a giant I think if some sort. Proper commuter, he had leopard print ear muffs on I'm sure of it lol.
Otherwise an uneventful journey, quicker than normal as well

You know if you reach your target you have to stop cycling, some ancient law

"leopard print ear muffs" not while cycling surely........
its such a busy and narrow area round there - always have to be extra careful - driving or cycling

Wind deffinately felt like it as eased off a bit this morning, still grey and cloudy though, in anticipation of the rain that's forecast, well I'm sure the garden plants will be thankfull of a drop of rain.

Especially the lights I was at people always jump reds there! Nearly been wiped out by a few cars who haven't noticed that red means stop!
