Tales from today's commute....

Nice! Just a hefty old 383 sbc for me in my fake plastic cobra - kookas - I don't have a roof to put up, you just wear a hat and get your passenger to pop a brolly up at the lights!

I have abandoned the roof and gone for a home made passenger side cover. I then wear a crash helmet.. job done

Dry ride to work with a tail wind, great fun, the ride home however, long, slow, hard work, cold and a tad on the wet side, not nice.

Lots of tipper trucks in that Hackney video, blimey.

Long route home. Heavy traffic made progress slow. Got showered on a couple of times but missed the heavy stuff.

Two weeks away and it's still wet and windy! I want snow...

 

[Pier]

Today another flat tire...soon I'll be able to change it in less than 5 minutes

Ah, it's that time of year again.

The time of year to seal the Smart 1/2 watts aganst the water ingress random-switching effect

Truly incredible wind this morning, at one point, you could have walked faster than I was pedalling!, and then it started raining!
Its unreal, really unreal. never known it like this ever.

hardest ride yet on the way home the wind was so strong I could hardly make head way. Real slog and then the old belt side ways as well for good measure.
Summer when it comes is going to be dam heaven

Two minor slopes...

One irritatingly long and gradual - FLEW up that with a tailwind
One slight downhill coming home after a small climb that just lets me get good speed up for the flat road to follow - Knackering!

That's looking like a very inviting bonnet.

Very nice day when compared to yesterday, breezy, wet roads, +5 and no rain, all made for a pleasant commute especially as the wind was very helpful going up two hills.

 

[Beebo]

What a diffrence a day makes. The tube stike is still on but the traffic was much reduced, I guess the drivers who came into London yesterday couldnt face it again today.

Long route again. Shifted 2-3kg's of post operative pile on weight in last month. Another 2-3kg to go.
