Tales from today's commute....

[Archeress]

Found a strange item on the way to work. A very small digital scale suitable for measuring quantities up to 50 g.
I wonder what that could be used for for?

Usually deals of drugs, but archery stores also sell them so archers can match the weight of each arrow to improve accuracy.

Another farkin' headwind on the way home, that's every day this week. Of course the wind has done a 180 today, so a double headwind day today. Oh well, certainly beats the bus.

Think I spotted @kevin_cambs_uk 's wife on the way home, it was near the windmill Kev....

Took 30 mins for my head to stop leaking after commute home today. Too warm. Never get a chance to acclimatise to heat like this. Plus it makes vehicle driver's driving far more aggressive. Some nutter nearly wiped himself out and perhaps me, overtaking me on a blind corner meeting an on coming skip lorry. Thankfully for me, the nutter didn't succeed.

Yup, traffic was horrendous, backed up everywhere...nobbers.
Would have been a fantastic commute otherswise, not too hot and NO WIND @MisterStan

I left very late today, but again the wind was a real sod

We do get a lot of bow hunters here. Can you imagine going after a bull moose with only a bow and arrow, suddenly hunting actually seems like a sport.

Today was tricycle day. Saw one with a difference on the commute this morning, very similar to this, the 2 wheels at the front really made me do a double take. And a more conventional 700c 2 wheels at rear this afternoon. Most unusual ...

A beautiful day, I'm a little red! Even the morning commute was hot. I was going to be a bit too early and was contemplating my options when I decided to try to find a route along the ridge that leads to the communications mast. I assumed (hoped) that I would find a way off at the other end and had a lovely ride on the grass. The views were fantastic!

Yes, I was pretty hot on my ride over to Yate today.

This week has mostly been nne wind and me dying each ride on the commute home through East London oh and sweating buckets as I do but more buckets than usual... All in all not enjoyed this week at all, maybe it's just me who's suffering lol ;-)

Got beeped from behind by a Corsa while riding along a wide country lane. I wasn't doing anything odd probably travelling at circa 25mph about 2 feet from the hedge. He then pulled along side me and started screaming at me that I should be closer to the hedge. I told him there was plenty of space to pass. He then swerved at me braking so heavily his car skidded missing me by no more than a foot. I then swore at him he wound his window up and drove off. If I had had the composure to I should have got the chav feckers number and have gone to the police. He clearly had no road sense and was showing dangerous and aggresive behaviour.

Overcast but warmer than I imagined it to be. Just had a steady bimble after the track session I did last night. I suffered real bad cramp on my 2nd to last lap so didn't want to push this morning, just span it up a bit to keep things loose.

Was heading from Lower Peover to Toft when I saw a road closed sign ahead. This was bad news as I did not know an alternative route from there! Anyway, I decided to ignore it as I could see no maintenance vehicles ahead and there had been no warning signs yesterday (other traffic was rightly following the guidance and turning back). Half a mile later, another sign, but still nothing obvious as to what was happening. I continued onwards and it was clear all the way - traffic was also coming in the opposite direction. Either someone was playing silly beggars, or the intended work was scheduled for later...Meant for a nice, traffic free stretch!

Seemed to be a bit less traffic on the roads - I suspect quite a few people had taken Friday off after the England match.
