Tales from today's commute....

[BSRU]

Lots of wet leaves on wet roads this morning.

Back to summer kit this morning. A relatively stress free commute but with a nasty headwind.

Indeed the joys of flint ripping into tyre, loud rush of 120PSi air rushing out, followed by repairing puncture in the dark and wet. At least the wet allows you to identify the location of the puncture more quickly.

Skiddy but more resilient GatorSkins on the way to replace secure Pro 4's .

Was 8deg's when I left this morning. So a bit warmer then yesterday.
It was peeing down with rain all through the night so thought I would be in for a wet commute. But was dry when I got up. Nice blue sky when I left.

Saw a Cycling RLJ'r get pulled up by the fuzz in Catford.... serves him right. The dope overtook the fuzzy car to RLJ....

Headwind was grim this morning, and I've just found out that the roadworks on Moorgate that are giving me grief are going to stay until mid November. Other than that a nice trip in, didn't see any dodgy driving/cycling which is always nice!

He speaks the truth, I was regretting putting a hoodie over my t-shirt 5m in.

Yep, shorts and fingerless gloves this morning, although still kept with the long sleeved top.
Lovely and sunny, and I felt the urge to go through the park for the autumn colours, even though it's 10 minutes slower.

Puncture only 1 mile into the commute, then nearly got taken out by a moron who came straight off the pavement onto the road right beside me, left him in no doubt as to what I thought of his riding style

 

[martint235]

Whaaaattttttttt

I've figured that if it's dry, summer kit is out from 7C and above.

You're braver than me martin235. My summer kit is now at the back of the wardrobe, never to be seen again until May 2013.

Ah my summer kit never leaves. Winter kit is summer kit with a jacket and long finger gloves. If it's really cold I'll put some longs over my summer shorts.

Still hand fingered gloves on this morning, I switch to mits for the return journey. Raining when I left last night, put my waterproofs on and it then stopped so proceeded to remove waterproofs arghhh! I will not be using my waterproofs until it's torrential or freezing!

Joking aside it broadly is for me. Long running trousers go over the shorts and full finger gloves go under padded mitts. The summer jerseys though go in the cupboard. I prefer to use base layers underneath the winter jacket/tops.
