Tales from today's commute....

[GrasB]

I'm in primary doing around 25mph. I see a guy starting to wander across without, obviously, looking up the road, thus I slow down to 15mph keeping a careful eye on the ped. Mr driver behind me just passes & ends up clipping the poor guy with his wing mirror as there wasn't enough space. A few choice words were said by the ped as the driver blares his horn & puts his foot down.

The ped was okay.

Still felt cold this morning, wind had dropped, gonna rain tommorow

In the meantime.. In London Town we have glorious warm (ish) sunny weather. Fingers crossed it stays like it for a while.

My legs did not feel good this morning. Hill reps last night was a bad idea!

Slicks are perfect for riding in the rain.

Slicks are better for the wet on road (more tyre is in contact with the tarmac, compared to knobblies or tread) and don't worry about aquaplaning unless you can cycle over 100mph (not even Cavendish can do that); bike tyres are too narrow to aquaplane

I'm keeping my fingers crossed anyway. But thanks for the information about slicks and water. It's put my mind at rest a little.....

Just be careful of road ironworks and painted lines and you will be ok.

Yeah! Lovely run in this morning. Relatively warm and relatively wind free. Full winter gear should hopefully be put away for 6 months or so.

Came out of work at 6am and the car windscreens were frozen over, keeping my thermals handy for a few weeks yet

2 more nights then I'm going to have a Friday car day, legs are feeling it a bit

Another beautiful day
You dream about days like today, little wind, warm hazy sunshine, dry roads
Perfect.

Makes all those winter months of snow, rain, and freezing hands worthwhile cause all the fitness is all there ready to take in the weather.
Cruising home at 22 mph, heaven.

No gloves. First time this year. Spring is bursting out, the blackthorn's just started.

Gold lexus, S50 MUR, is driven by a twunt with a lousy attitude to other road users. Of course, that should be obvious from the car and the personalised plate but I couldn't tell that until he overtook. My presence in the body of the carriageway, in secondary, was an affront which he could only vanquish by excessive use of horn and a punishment pass.

Nice quiet ride home, found the source of the squeak, it was the bike mount for the GPS.

Shorts on for the ride home, cycling is so much easier in shorts.
