Tales from today's commute....

[Supersuperleeds]

Nicely recovered! I had never lost a front wheel until this year, I've lost it twice now Fortunately pulling off from nearly stationery

More luck than judgement I think.

So the TfL taxi driver who decided to overtake me dangerously closely through a pinch point was of the opinion that because he didn't hit me, that proved he had left me enough space. Thanks.

The Claud had an overnight deflation, so being a lazy git, I chucked the pannier contents into a rucksack and jumped on the best bike. Good pace all the way in, apart from a short period where I chatted with @kevin_cambs_uk (on his still gleaming MTB) and the purple Gazelle guy.

LOL, Peterborough Mark is what I calll him!

Hahaha! I've just remembered what he said this morning!
I commented on how clean Kevin's MTB was and Peterborough Mark likened it to a Chelsea Tractor as it's never been off road!

Windy one - still did just short of 16 miles into the city centre just because. Quick route is 9.

It's colder too, with a wind. Just rode back with filler and gloss paint and an Indian meal from M&S and a crosswind buffeted my panniers.

Indian food can do that!

Hoping it eases off a bit for the ride home, Friday legs and all that

A head wind adds resistance to your training it's good........21mph overall average there and back for me today. Fastest outward leg I have managed on that route.

First for me tonight, I hit a rat. I'm okay, bike is okay, rat was laid out. #prayforratty

 

[HLaB]

I had to pick up a wheel this evening I was going to take a longer route but I chickened out when I saw the wind had got up and cycled the direct way back; it wasn't bad actually

 

[MisterStan]

Bloody windy, head windy!

 

[kevin_cambs_uk]

Truly demoralising head wind coming home.
1 hr 10, which was not too bad, but a few more weeks of that on the MTB and I think I will be dead!
The re build of the road bike is starting again in earnest!
Caught by @MisterStan again!
