Tales from today's commute....

[summerdays]

Last nights commute was nice, bit longer as I wasn't getting my half way lift due to finishing late and I was pleasantly surprised how much quieter the roads were after 6. And I think I did it reasonably quickly for me

Perfect cycling conditions, was a little cool to start off, but seeing @kevin_cambs_uk in the distance and putting in some effort to catch him, meant that I warmed up quickly. Lovely and sunny too.

Great tow in from @MisterStan !!!!

Drafting really is the way to work !

Thanks for the two mate

It's amazing how nice the riverside park is when there's no cyclists in it. Couple of chats with dog walkers and then sauntered through. Had the same guy as yesterday on the South Circular but he seems to be learning and just stayed behind me today. Also caught up with the yellow jersey wearing lady near Croydon. Still not particularly quick though.

Did the riverside park this morning. For no reason other then it is a lovely morning.

I had reason last summer to do Sydenham as a start/end point a few times and the Riverside was always a nice change of scenery from my normal commute in. Even convinced my wife to cycle in London thanks to it.

Pretty much perfect conditions for riding a bike this morning...

I ended up chasing down a driver who cut me up. It was quite amusing as I was simply putting the hammer down on my planned commute to work. He was trying to get away but kept on getting caught by lights... when I peeled into a left filter he looked a little panicked. Funny thing was all I did was brake hard & the shake my head before continuing on my journey at the same pace.

Nice run into the city. Late start as I was 'blood letting' at the Docs, and got some Naproxen and "anti dodgy gut tablets" to take whilst I get sorted. Clouded over by the time I left the City, but went via the new office to check progress - looking good !

Big ringed* it all the way in this morning and still didn't get here under the hour. But there is more to come from the legs and lungs if I'm spared.

*what passes for a big ring on a 50/39/30 triple.

Ride in today was nice n fast and was very pleased with my 21mph average
The ride home was nice and relaxed apart from when I was climbing a particularly steep little hill to encounter not one but two dense clouds of nats that I had to hold my breath though...it really messed up my segment time

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Another 100 mile day, think it will be a lot shorter tomorrow

 

[mistral]

Sorry, but I got involved in some inappropriate touching of a younger CC rider on the way home, I think I got away with it .....

Hello @User1314 – I’ll buy you a pint one lunchtime, in the Jerusalem? Let me know when you're free

It felt like a fast ride home with a fast average MPH along my one of my usual routes. Alas when I get home I take the phone out of the jersey to check, and someone didn't press the start icon in Strava
