Had one snap last year, piece of cloth discarded in the road got caught up in my Ultegra dérailleur. Result = snapped in half.

They don't make them like they used to. :tongue:

Had some bad news at work (no, I'm not getting fired, just lost any hope of promotion in the next year) so pounded out a ride back home - well, pounded out by my standards. Beat my time across Southampton Common by about thirty seconds though I was only five seconds faster on the whole ride. Stupid Strava segment-chasing. Need to sort the front wheel tomorrow, and my front light mount has decided to go wonky so it will only go 20 degrees to the right...

Yay back on a bike!!! Hand is still a bit sore but it was good to be out in the fresh air again!!

Riverside park may need to be skipped from now on: clouds of midges plus suicidal squirrels don't make a good mix!!

Yup, the midges are a big problem in the park. Round the corner then BAM! cloud of midges.

A bit chilly, relatively, this morning, damp roads even though no rain and wind from it's normal direction.
A nice easy 40km ride in, starting to get used to the earlier waking up just in time for the weekend.

I was in the car today, due to roadworks I would have been quicker on the bike, in fact If it hadn't been for my local knowledge it would have been quicker to walk.:sad:

The fun starts tonight/next week. Cheadle High Street is closes for major sewer works, so this should be chaos at rush hour. May take the long route tonight and avoid the area.

Spotted a 'information' poster on a phone box this morning. "Cyclists, if the road is narrow, ride in the middle of the lane" - first one of those I've seen ! Good advice as it was on a student cycle route.

In contrast I've just seen a notice on our works board reminding cyclists leaving the site to make sure you have your lights, helmets, and hi-viz on :ohmy:
