Tales from today's commute....

Head wind. All. The. Way.

Praying that the wind doesn't miraculously change direction on me going home (and that has happened before -nothing as demoralizing as that!)

Floaty day for me today quickish on the way in with a Strava KOM and a 25mph plus return leg . Not a common occurence.

I was going to post how pleased I was with a 17mph average ride home tonight, don't think I'll bother now

Another good deed from me... rescued a family of ducklings who were stuck on the busway rails. Very cute and fluffy!

Aside from that, it was nice to have a sunny run home. Come on summer!

Unusual commute in today, first I noticed that of the first 20+ cyclists I met! over 50% were female. After that it returned to more normal proportions but a pleasant change. Then as I was passing the MOD I heard a noise and realised that it was a steam train approaching! Not something you (well me anyway), see every day.

Back to the flat via lidls tonight that about as excitingas it got, although I bumped into a mate which was nice and the ride was relatively fast, I should pump the tyres up more often and oiling the chain is always a good idea. :-)

I swallowed my first fly of the year on my way home.

Pretty misty start to the day here - needed glasses-screen wipers for half of it! Been fiddling with setup of new commuter too, got the stem slammed now to stretch my back out a bit as yesterday was a bit crampt so hopefully nearly sorted on that front!

Still in the annoying part of the year where its cold in the morning and warm in the evening so iv got to cart gilet and warmers back in jersey pockets tonight...tough life!!

rubbish weather, and a useless BBC forecast.

Left Lancaster on the train with the sun rising beautifully .... Arrived in Warrington to pea soup, come on sunshine!

Tube strike in London = millions of novice cyclists wobbling along the CS routes. Some absolutely shocking filtering too.
Where were you all in January & February?!

Send in the clowns!
I gave up trying to ride normally and just pootled in the last few miles. I didnt want to be anywhere near one of those guys when they wiped out taking others with them!

A relatively short commute for me this morning, only to realise I'd forgot my swipe card

Very misty here this morning. Visibility was poor and I can't believe how many drivers there were without any lights on and still barreling along at 60+ on an nsl road without any regard for the conditions.
