Tales from today's commute....

[potsy]

Well winter longs finally off for lightweight bibs. Standard LS jersey with a base too. Finally.

Summer tights and shoes, short sleeved shirt and gilet, nice to be riding without the skullcap/buff/winter boots and gloves.
If only that wind would calm down a bit it would be really pleasant.

Really mild for the pm commute but just a short one for me to a lbs to get rim tape (new wheel on my back). After picking up the tape my route takes me back into the current headwind and it was a pretty slow one after that. Had a wvm rev past me and immediately skid into a parking space but despite his frantic manoeuvre he had plenty of time and I only needed to feather the brake drop my already slow cadence on the fixie slightly. Forgotten how sweaty a load on your back makes you though and my back was dripping with sweat.

Mild and sunny but windy. It felt like a headwind but I managed my fastest ride home by a whole 14 seconds, so it must have been a tailwind of sorts.

nice ride home, very windy but at least sunny and dry and the shorts were on !

I got shouted at for cycling in the middle of the road... around a blind corner with a solid white line. Apparently I'm a fooking idiot

the sunshine doesn't make idiots less idiotic, eh?

Well a combination of the sun / schools going back means I received more abuse in one commute than I did the previous two weeks. I got a few PB's on my commute home so its not all bad

Stopped in lights, scallies are great sometimes "That bikes a beast mate" "thanks"

few meters on, hmm better check my rear light is still there.

wind assisted?

 

[boybiker]

wind assisted?

Not particularly, more anger assisted from a bad day at work

 

[jarlrmai]

I got 2 KOMs but very definitely wind assisted, but then again the previous holders may have also benefited from the wind (that's what I'm choosing to believe)

Ride home tonight was a tad harder than the run into work this morning.
