Tales from today's commute....

Wore the Aldi hi vis jacket on the way in and got wetter with sweat than I would have done with rain.

It's too warm for waterproofs.

As @EthelF says, the rain was a nice relief from stingy eyes - I've never much minded cycling in rain anyway. I did however manage to coat my tyres in sodden blossom and it got all wedged in my brakes. Nice.

Like others I was expecting rain this morning but it was dry, took the bike and was expecting a soaking on the way home, it was raining when I left work but had stopped by the time I got into Bedworth, took my cape off at the lights and carried it the rest of the way home.

Today was the final straw, no more commuting when the weather is like today. I am going to be a fair weather rider when the road bike is out. So the bus next time.
I have just had enough of it. Shitty British weather.

In smilies.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Drenched within a mile and windy again but warm, by mile thirteen the sun was out and I was drying out, by mile 25 I was walking into the house as it started to get very dark in the sky again

Waterproofs were too hot. Boiled

Volvos, always bloody Volvos- just why? Utter knobend Buggerf*ckt%atts!
And breathe......

Fark, greasy roads or what.

Lost traction on both wheels going round a sharp right hander. Managed to avoid doing anything corrective and stayed upright. Just avoided the verge too.

Puncture, then loose headset and v wet. Fish and chip supper helped my bad mood...

Quite remarkably I manage to (just) avoid the rain on both my ride to work and the one back home again

Once again I seemed to have got lucky with the rain and missed all the heavy stuff. Had a few smatterings of rain but nothing to get bothered about. The wind though.... that can do one...

Dry ride home, on went the wiggle honda top and decathlon bibshorts. Nice pace along the route I think - will check when I upload the garmin tonight...

I would trade a puncture and a headset adjustment any day for a decent fish supper, they just don't do it right here in Canada. I can see the like button but I can not find the jealous as Fcuk button.
