Tales from today's commute....

[fossyant]

Toughy last night, did think of Origamist as his commute was all the way into it. Mine is east/west, but as I do a loop, it was damn hard heading south. Long route last night and the same this morning. Early dart today as at hospital with my son this afternoon.

How do you's manage the wind? I commute on a CX with a backpack and when the wind hits I certainly know about it. Past few days have been 20mph+ with stronger gusts and its all headwind on the way home. Nowhere to hide.

Use it as good training.

Erm just pedal !

I've tried the "just pedal" approach and i was nearly at a standstill coming downhill. On a side note it did improve my track stand ability.
It's certainly good training but sometimes a break from it would be nice.

Been riding on the MTB for the past few weeks as the brake on my commuter broke. Fixed it last night so back on the roadbike today. Oh it felt great to by flying again! Although I had got used to the size of the 80cm wide handlebars, so it felt a bit weird on nearly half of that!

Dry and cold this morning with a stiff tail wind, made for a quick fast spinning commute, tonight was cold wet slow and hard work banging the pedals round into a strong gusting head wind

Very wet ride home tonight. mudguards did their job, feet were fairly dry when I got home

 

[PJ79LIZARD]

Well it lasted a couple of days, my rides now filthy again

Windy again, but missed the rain, thankful for small mercies

The predicted rain didn't turn up thank gawd, but the bloody wind was a nightmare.
Nearly got taken out by a wayward ped.... silly tosspot, looking into his phone just ambled across the road without even a cursory glance forcing me to make a drastic swerve into the other lane. Good thing there was no other traffic. He got a very rude word thrown at his general direction, not that he could hear it.
