Nah, vapourised it with my lights. PS sorted the battery pack with padding the batteries with tape (a few wraps round). No issues with power even tested over road works whilst getting lost.

Gentle pootle back from work. Live 2.5 miles away but regularly extend it to 10-15 miles on way home. Just me and deserted East Yorkshire lanes. Colleagues are astounded that I do this.

Congratulations on the new job!
Today was my first ride of the year (it was going to be Monday but weather forecast was so dire etc etc and yesterday was a day off), and after only 2 commutes in December and really I stopped around 8th November as I have been so horribly ill with a massive bout of flu and then barely better in December and got a heavy cough/cold that meant I was getting about three hours broken sleep a night. I only do 4.5miles each way but I do leave v early. I have almost stopped coughing now, but if you pass me barking I do apologise! I have to start on the fitness all over again, so not fair. I don't do getting ill (skeletal problems are my speciality) so that should be my decade's worth, I hope!
Only two observations, far too hot and very very unfit.

Ha ha, whereabouts was that?
Just to let you know, my battery pack is ace, no problem with rattle with the protected cells, unless I'm just a much better fettler than you?

Nice pootle in today, drafted someone but just back enough to avoid their spray but close enough to see their sodden shorts!! Finished off with a Cav Style spirt, 3rd best time on hybrid so getting there. Overall a nice ride in.

My 36 mile commute was completed in just under 45 min & accompanied by the bassy burble of a 7L V8. Hope to be back on the bike tomorrow.
Another off in the wet on rubinos has me giving them the official thumbs down, going back to gp 4 seasons to try and stay upright again - which will be novel!
Other than that off a quite nice ride in, not looking forward to return leg due to the pain in my hip/knee building up already!grrr

Should have turned onto Simonsway to head for Finey Lane but 'missed' it. Checked strava and completely got lost ! The protected cells are fine in my pack, but not the un-protected as they are a few mm shorter, so not held as tight
