Tales from today's commute....

Lol @WVM (I hope he's not a user on here). About 3-4 Car lengths back from a red light with me in the primary and indicating strongly right, he decides to overtake. It wasn't done fast but it was quite comical as he was determined not to yield to the oncoming car (had turned left on green) as he went to the red light.

What's your target ?

15,000 miles, a tad under 100 to go now, but the weather is not looking good for tomorrow and Thursday. I am at work up until Christmas Eve, so have two days next week as my contingency plan

Fantastic moonlit ride into work this morning, yes it was cold but hardly any wind. Tomorrow on the other hand is not looking good

Fingers crossed for you that you manage it It will be well deserved.

Due to nursemaid duties during the night I didn't leave the house until 9, usually leave at 6 to be at work by 8'ish, so very short ride in.
This time of year it is actually quicker by bike, Christmas shoppers clogging up the roads.

In the car !

Saw a female cyclist nearly get taken out by a middle aged woman in a mini - impatient that the car in front was turning right, so she swerved into the cycle lane, without checking that there was actually a cyclist there. Fortunately there was a side road, so that the cyclist could avoid being squashed. Said driver got a few dirty looks from the cyclist when she was caught 50 yards further on in the traffic queue. You aren't going anywhere, and neither was I on my side !

First commute back after my near miss last Thursday, whimped out yesterday due to the weather, but I'm back now with four extra lights on my helmet and spoke reflectors...didn't stop someone pulling out in front of me though...ah well, determined to ride the week out!

Just had text to say there is a delivery from Planet-X & another jiffy bag waiting for me at home.
Nothing more mysterious than the unopened plain jiffy bag. But more motivation to ride even quicker tonight!

Just broken through 10,000 miles for the year (avg 17.6mph). Original goal was 6,500 put had that ticked off by August. Only started cycling 18 months ago, well chuffed.

Made my 10K goal, not sure if I'll make 14K, only 490miles to go (mycyclinglog ticker is a little off). Theoretically doable, but Christmas dinners and lunches do tend to eat into the early morning commuting miles ;-)

66 Commuting miles a day for the next 3 days if I'm to reach commuting 3.5k miles I don't think I'll bother. 22 general miles a day (till the end of the year) to reach my current 1000miles a month target is much more realistic.

B***ocks - I need to do another 36 miles on top of the hundred to get 1,000 miles for the month - good job I am working New Years Eve
