I did think about it but again if it was a long term thing I'd look into it further but I think I'd rather move closer and have more flexibilty.

Sorry, I meant as an alternative to driving all the way until you move.

Yeah that what I thought you meant; I used to do similar when I first moved back to Scotland but I was staying with my folks so rent savings paid for it and I always had tea waiting for me when I got home.

Roads pretty much dried up in Leicester and little wind made for a fast ride home.

I made it home, just!
It drizzled at tad in Cambridge and all the way home to my left was storm clouds, and I kept at it, steady 20 and just got to the bottom of my road, and the heavens opened.
So got in almost dry its absolutely pissing down.
For once I got a result!
I really hate cycling to work, but its still the best way.

Old bloke. Wooly cap and scruffy old jacket & trousers a-la Compo from Last of the Summer Wine.
Roll-up fag hanging from his mouth
On a tidy ridgeback.
Doing a pretty passable trackstand
Whilst sat down
See him nearly every morning, pedalling away with the rollup hanging from his mouth but the trackstandsit just completed the look!

A slow & gentle commute home via a BMW dealership... was getting eyed up by one of the reception girls much to the amusement of the sales exec dealing with me.

Had a proper nobber this morning. On purpose left hook. Fark it, got in front of him at a r'about and slowed him down. As I pulled alongside him he was calling me a twat (hence I knew the left hook was on purpose).
Apparently I should get a proper way to travel (he was in a people carrier hire car). Apparently he's a big shot and is off to the USA for 3 months.
Good riddance.

As per this morning's commute there was something weird about that commute, not that anything happened, it was just my last from there. Really hot but thats because this morning had necessitated a boil in the bag and ran out of room in my bag for it at night.

Put Gatorskins (28c) on my CX Comp and picked it up from the LBS today (yes, I will do it myself next time)... what a difference. At least 2 mph! Lowlight was the idiot on Commercial Road somehow going through the no entry/roadworks. Oh, and my workplace air con broke down. Sweaty.

Yesterdays ride home, well, it took 0.23 miles for my feet to get wet through, 0.57 miles for my front mudguard to break and 1.1 miles before the rain was stinging my thighs like mad! But to be honest, as it was pelting it down I was nice and warm and wouldn't of been anywhere else, love riding my bike me
