This cyclist was framed today.

Apparently found it by the side of the road. Pretty good find I thought

Second commute this week, round trip of 22 miles which I have been doing twice a week for three weeks now and have managed to knock ten minutes off my time each way.

Took the short route home this evening, I ended up working late and not leaving work till 20:50, first time I have ridden in the dark for a while.
An extra couple of hours in bed tomorrow morning.

Strava: has ridden 1000 kilometers (for August).

Bit of road chaos this lunch time, the big fire in Bredbury has left a major junction totally shut so a lot more traffic was on my route, cue a couple of dodgy close passes and one in particular that got shouted at and flashed his hazard lights in apology

Met some fast cyclists coming back which meant I got home quite fast.(Bloody tin boxes always get in the way though.)

Then I heard Christopher Cross's "Ride like the wind".

Damp & humid ride into work this morning.
Hopefully dry up for the journey home ???

Still smouldering, that blaze. Roads still closed off too. Horrible acrid smoke coming off it now. Glad only one commute to do this week. Gez

Damp and drizzly, but not dreadful, pretty sure that I was more wet from sweating - it's so bloody humid this morning.

Took the car today, legs are pooped out after riding the same route I took yesterday morning, One day I will get used to those hills !

I had a ride of three halves this morning!
First section was very humid and uncomfortable
second section - it rained!!
Third section, was dry. much cooler, less humid.

It was one of those rides where no one knew what to wear, I saw everything from short sleeve top and shorts, right through to full waterproofs. Which must have been horrid.

Getting really tired of nobbers on bikes who give cyclists a bad name, I am by no means a good cyclist, I make mistakes like the rest of us but nobbers who jump reds, have earphones in and have no awareness (no forgetting the middle aged bloke with the cig hanging out of his mouth with the ipod on) and whats worse they are all in their 30s and 40s maybe older.

Good ride in, tightened rear cable and no more jumping of gears now just got to index them (for the first time)

Well that was the 18th rainy commute of the year. We have been very lucky down in the south east as it's the first rain we have had in a while. Nice and refreshing as it is not cold.

Really misty up here so thought i'd put on my new rear light. It's a smart Lunar R2. As i didn't have anyone run me down i assume it works quite well.

You've guessed it....Day n'th of commuting bliss
A little bit damp but not too wet. A pretty slow commute, it wasnt helped by holding the gates at the level crossing open for another cyclist and they held me up for a while but i was in no rush and I'd rather be polite. Did the 5.5miles in under 22mins yesterday and over 26 and half today
