too right Martin, and coming home not much better, saw you three long way in the distance but never caught up until you stopped!!!!
one weekend when the weather is better we should all go for a non commuting ride !

For the 1st time in 2 months, I did not take the bike to work. I had to take the car.
As I work in a well known diy store I had to do a bit of shopping in there for garden items, including grow bags,paint,plants to name a few items.
So now I have to fit in cycling
and doing the garden

well coming back via the bus way was a mistake as the bike is absolutely full of shite........

Nothing special to report on my short commute apart from the dodgy rear wheel is still holding good but hopefully it wont have to hold for too long and the replacement will be here shortly.

Had to take car to work today (no really....had to) as I'm at a family party straight from work and I'm meeting Mrs Viking and Little Viking there and she didn't want me arriving late, sweaty and wearing Lycra
Anyway to the point.... as I was driving through the lanes I looked wistfully at the a few roadies I saw riding in the early morning sun and thought "aarrrrgggghhh I wish I was riding in today"

Yes it was lovely riding as the sun came up this morning

Sun you say? Just ridden home from work in a downpour. Nice warm bath methinks.

Cracking day for a ride. Windy but sunny. No tights, short sleeve jersey and summer shoes!

Shorts and tee shirt this morning. 15 miles of hard work against headwind and cross winds, was worth it though as I then had 10 miles of tail wind, I love riding to work.
Echo what others said.
A really nice morning for commuting. Temp was+10degs when I left this morning, so first morning commute this year saw me in shorts and just a long sleeve Cycle Chat jersey, though could have got away with the short sleeve one. Wind wasn't too bad but will be a mare for the return journey.
Schools are back which also meant traffic is back.

Here for rides.
Bike seems to be be broken, has these terrible dead spots in the pedal stroke and the back wheel moves independently of the pedals. Also appears to have 29 surplus gears....
...more seriously lovely ride in shorts+short sleeve top and thin arm warmers; took shell off after 5km, too warm. Wind is strong and from the SW and some of the gusts iz well 'ard innit?
And, as Ian said above skool is back and so is carz.
