Yeah but I'd take a frost over a cold shower and day of the week.

This weeks weather has been the reward for those wet and very windy conditions a couple of months back. Making the most of it that's for sure !

Gorgeous evening yesterday, glad I took the slightly longer hilly route home, gave me some great view (justice not done by 'phone camera):

Went to fix the broken front wheel and it looks like I've slightly bent a spoke out of a place. Any ideas on how to fix it with my spoke key? I've never done any of this before but I want to avoid taking it to the LBS and spending more :sad:

For the first time this year I dumped the jacket in the work bag and rode home in my shirtsleeves, still cold enough for a winter jacket in the morning though, I walked past my car getting my bike out the other morning and the windscreen was iced up, and we haven't yet lost that cold strong wind, it was in my face all the way home tonight.

Nice ride back, spotted 400bhp at the junction with Hale/Park Road and shouted a hello. Good to see a friendly face!

Might ride the good bike tmrw as I doubt the weather will hold for much longer!

Clear sunny skies, quiet(ish) roads and a bike. Commuting doesn't get much better than this.

Found it was still pretty nippy in the shade though when a motorcycle cop stopped me and pointed out my rear brake QR was released. I guess I must have left it undone after changing the tube on Monday. Whoops. Not sure how good his eyes must've been to spot that from a few car lengths behind me given I missed it when giving the bike a once over before setting off both today and yesterday. Glad he did though as I had to grab a fist full of both brakes when a Vovlo decided to try and left hook me along Stretford Road.

The weather's nice here too at the moment. The mornings have all been about 7.5°C and no rain this week. Of course it's Autumn here so the mornings will soon get colder.

A lovely commute home*** for me. I left work early, as I needed to pickup a parcel of cycling-related goodies from a local post office before its ridiculously short opening hours ended. I got home around 2pm, and the ride was glorious: mid-20s, lots of sunshine, no wind and just the steady rhythm of me cycling at a recovery pace (by 'recovery pace' I mean I rode just slow enough to keep my mouth shut, which I think is a good yardstick for 'recovery' vs 'training'). Cycling heaven! :smile: I'm looking forwrad to a weekend filled with several bike rides, although the weather may be changeable, with a bit of rain here and there.

*** Yes, it's me again, waiting for someone else to post to this thread. Come on people, it's already 7:30am over there :laugh:.

We have a long weekend here @victor for Easter - I guess there are a few people taking today off as an extra.

The roads were incredibly quiet this morning, really nice! A cool start, with plenty of sun.

Riding through London was like a ghost town this morning. It seems that three quarters of the people are off work.
