Tales from today's commute....

[BSRU]

Front tyre was down to 80psi, rear tyre 40psi, no wonder I have been struggling

Probably makes little difference with M+ tyres.

An easy 45km ride in to protect my BB until I replace it tonight.
Very pleasant experience apart from the numptie on a boardman hybrid flashing past me on a narrow shared path.
They were in excess of 20mph and I do not think the pedestrians were happy with his selfishness.
As usual, we get to a little drag and he blows up, watching all those non-existent FCN points disappear as I go past.

Another quick run in on the MTB. I'm really enjoying this, I think it's to do with feeling less vulnerable. The MTB feels like a tank so I don't have to be as careful avoiding potholes etc.

Ok, clattered this morning. I'm fine, think the driver was more shook up. My front wheel and fork have had it though. Nice other fella on bike stopped to give advice, thanks if you're on here.

It's Hot Hot Hot - I'm a sweaty mess this morning

I've decided the rear tyre on the commuter has a slow puncture, luckily I decided this before I set off and used the road bike instead, felt a lot easier than the last couple of days.

What a perfect morning for cycling. Sun shining, roads nice and dry, minimal traffic.... and what do I end up doing! Not taking full advantage and just do a proxy 19miles I'm not saying that in a 'look how far I ride' kinda way but I really really should be out the door for at least a 40/50 on mornings like this! My body is probably telling me I'm tired as I've not heard my alarm for three days on the trot now. Things gotta change!!!

It's Hot Hot Hot - I'm a sweaty mess this morning

But it is an absolutely stunning morning weather-wise!

Different commute today for me !
Paddington - Fenchurch St. on a Boris Bike ..... booted & suited 8-)

Via Hyde Park Corner, The Mall, Big Ben & Tower Bridge.

Really hot her this morning, so set off half an hour early so I could take my time and have 20 minutes cooling down before I had to do anything (no showers here).

Rode the MTB this morning taking Concorde Way down to Cribbs and the office. Had to duck at one point due to a partially fallen tree. I expect some vandal had been swinging on it. Managed to get QOM for both the segments I passed through, all on a chunky GT 29er.

I nearly jumped out of my skin this morning. I was cycling up Chapel Green Lane and was almost at the junction where I was intending to go right so looked behind and found an emergency vehicle with blue lights but no sirens coming up behind me, THEN they decide to put the sirens on! Managed to pull over ok but I assume I visibly startled! I wish they had put them on as they were approaching the bend to give me a little more notice.

First dull morning for ages, it's even trying to mizzle!

Damn I hate that.
Happened to me on a commute last week.
Pootling along at a rate of knots... fugger ambulance decided to turn his siren on just as he was behind me... bast.

The other weird thing about this morning's commute ... there were literally loads of cyclists definitely more than normal!
