Tales from today's commute....

[captainhastings]

Roads were bad Friday morning I could hardly walk up one hill near me and thursday night in the wind was fun

 

[I like Skol]

Just got back from what should be the last commute of the year and now sipping a nice cold beer
Nothing spectacular about the trip except it was beautifully dry and fresh, both on the way to work last night and on the return trip this morning. I also clocked up the magic 4k for 2013 on my return trip so just shy of 4006 miles in 2013
No plans to ride again now until new years day, I'm driving to work between Christmas and new year and intend to start eating tonight and not stopping until I next get on my bike

Much nicer commute in than expected, warm, dryish and the wind not too bad but that is apparently going to change for the worse during the day.

Still light traffic as schools out and the night is getting shorter

I wasn't meant to go to work today but something has cropped up that I have to deal with.
The roads were nice and clear and I missed the predicted rain/storm so nice and dry. A little bit blowy though. Not looking forward to the trip home if the predicted precipitation and winds do arrive our neck of the woods.

Nice commute in, very light traffic. Hoping for the same on the way home, with the added benefit of a tail wind.

Lovely dry ride in, a few pockets of frost but not enough to have got the ice bike out and a tad breezy. Weather looks awful for the next few days

No bike today, had to get the wife to drop me off as I am still not well enough. First time in years, its unreal

No commute, on vacation, body clock still wakes me up at 5:00, so out I went, into the wind and rain, tis be blowy down here in Devon. Forgot about one joy on my chosen loop, 25% downhill, immediately followed by a wall, just as well I decided on bringing my hybrid, down into the granny gear it was :-)

Summer is on it's way though

middle of Preston deserted at 0745, a few dogwalkers about. Schools are out so very quiet really, although WVM is still active on the industrial estate where I work...

Thought about using the car today as the forecast was for bad wind (that's the weather..... not me... that will Christmas day after the sprouts)..... but desperate for the mileage want to hit 3000 for the year.... not looking forward to commute home..... traffic this morning was light though

Very short ride home and back for lunch, certainly wet and windy but could be worse could be in a car, the roads are chocker block with crazy Christmas shoppers going no-where fast.
It is the one time of year cycling to work is actually quicker than driving

Just got home from work. It's nasty out there and getting worse. Was very hard work in the winds. Had to stop a couple of times to wait for the wind to subside. Be careful anyone who's commuting in this.

I might have similar plans

It is nearly dark in Leicester and it is only 3:45. Going to be a very hard ride home, very wet and very windy, might wimp out and do the direct route home.

Why don't you do something different for a change?
