Tales from today's commute....

I couldn't work out why my legs felt so tired today.

All I can think of is the two 5-hour hill walks I did at the weekend....

I had this a few days ago, and thought it might have been a delayed reaction to the 85 miler I did at the weekend. Turned out my front brake was rubbing ... might be worth a check ;-)

Nice ride into work, getting to like this half term traffic, hardly any cars on the road,
not raining on the way home, but the headwind is back, so made it hard work.

Nice morning commute despite the slight drizzle (took the 22 mile route via Epping again).
Finally managed a 14mph average for that particular route (http://app.strava.com/activities/57081857).
Over 1000km on Strava for the May massive.

So all round a good morning

Bring on 20degree Friday

How do you find the climb up from HOmebase Frood ?

Uneventful ride in down the A13 this morning only noticeable due to lack of traffic

Got told 'F*** you' on the way home by another cyclist
He didn't like the fact I wasn't happy about him jumping straight from the pavement onto the road without even a glance to see if anything was coming
Thankfully my 'nobber' alert was turned on and I was able to swerve round him and leave him for dead struggling on his BSO.

Long way home again, made it 23+ miles for the day instead of the usual 19+

Had a nobber shout at me to get onto the cycle path tonight, I politely suggested he pull up so we could talk about it, obviously he didn't.

Hahaha

I've had that near Windsor. Some pathetic home-counties mummy's boy leaned out of his Corsa and said 'get on the cycle paarth.' I was embarrassed for him.

Was riding home at 4:00 pm on a secondary highway when out of nowhere some trucker starts honking his horn. There is no one around so I indicated for him to overtake me. He gets back on the horn again. I look back at him unknowing what the issue is. This time hes grabs the horn and lets it go for a good 3 second blast. Again there is no on coming traffic and we are on a ruler straight road. Then he finally overtakes shaking his fist at me and then pointing to the hard shoulder. What a tool.

Very wet on the way in. Can't remember if it was raining but there was a lot of standing water and I haven't yet fitted mudguards because I'm too lazy. So I got to work with a soggy backside and feet. Good job I took spare particulars. Got SMIDGAFed by an Audiot pulling from a side road on the right, who then stopped dead in front of me, turning left ten yards along into a shop forecourt.

The ride back was dryer and with the wind behind me I demolished the hill on the Alcester Road between the lights and the Jug Of Ale at about 1.5 times my usual speed. Don't know where that burst came from.

What looked like a wet morning made me very hot on the commute. Full length bibs nd jersey and jacket

Dry & mild this morning.
Commuting in the early morning (5am) is great, hardly any traffic & still some wildlife about - saw 4 foxes today !

 

[potsy]

that is all.

 

[ianrauk]

that is all.

In Manchester? You jest!
