Tales from today's commute....

Saw two Herons on my commute to work down the NCR 5, lovely to see such a animal.

I did the same and I think the base layer was too much.

You must work harder than me! I was just right this morning
Just a SS jersey for this arvo, will be perfect. Might try another recce of what will end up being my new commute again, Today. I think I have something that looks managable and cuts out as much of the nastiness as possible.

It is very warm out there at the moment so will be a nice warm ride home.
Another here who just had a SS jersey this morning.
My cut off is 10degs. Any lower then that then I wear vest underneath.

Pedal faster!

I apply the 10 degrees rule, regarding shorts. Althought I noticed I was able to withstand as low as around 7 degrees on Sunday morning, early. I find this somewhat surprising, in light of the recent absence of hair.

Passed the 1000 miles for the year last night - followed by PB commute into work this morning
Target was to best 50 mins for the 15 miles - just beat 47 mins so will have to target 45 mins now!
(thanks to @MisterStan for the pacemaking!)

fail this morning. Wanting to start the nursery run via bicycle today. It requires some cooperation by the small guy in my profile picture. He wasn't having any of it.

It was hard enough this morning getting him dressed for nursery, getting him on the bike with his helmet on just seemed like to much of a mountain to climb.

I'll have another go tomorrow.

Probably the nicest day of the year and I had to drive in My car was needed for a site visit for guests after a long meeting (I personally would have cycled) and guess what after the meeting everyone said they been through the site on route (a motorway/A road junction). Small mercies I dont pay for a parking permit so had to drive home and get the bike after the meeting

Noticed a naughty driver ignoring the "no entry" signs on a bus gate, due to traffic lights I eventually caught up with them.
Whilst sat behind them, I noticed a box on the rear parcel shelf with LED's spelling out two words which were a little difficult to see when the LED's are turned off.
Eventually figured out it said "POLICE STOP".

Enjoyed the ride home, nice seeing the shadow of your own bike on the road with the quiet buzz of chain through derraillure whilst cruising at a nice unstressful pace.

I read that at first as 'whilst cursing at a nice unstressful place' - I must stop imagining everyone else rides the same way as me!

A very close pass from a 40ft Britaniacrest Recycling lorry on the A23 Earlsfield with double whites, I reckon he got past without crossing them Had a couple of run ins with them before.

Forgetting that (because I can no cam footage! ) it was the best ride of the year thus far, I reckon you would have to go back to early September for similar conditions 8 Months ago!

I was tempted to take a photo this morning..... my chain is almost silent
