Tales from today's commute....

[Rasmus]

First sight of light frost on the fields this morning. Full finger gloves are not far away.

 

[Drago]

Night before last cycling home at midnight I caught sight of odd patches of frost. Was bloody cold in just mitts!

 

[mangid]

Not quite as cold as yesterday, but some reason the engine never reached tickover. The views over misty fields as the sun came up and the moon went down more than made up for it though.

Another lovely day with the mist over the Thames making a lovely view - tho how long I can go without a base layer is open for debate - think about end of the month?

A lovely morning to be out and a nice little bit if SCR executed, completing 5 scalps. Gives me a new PB as its the largest amount of people I've seen going in the same direction as me.

 

[BSRU]

Another lovely slightly chilly and sunny morning, warming up nicely.

 

[ianrauk]

yep @BSRU had the same weather.
10degs when I left at half past seven. Didn't tale long for me to warm up. Though 10degs is on the cusp of L/S jersey or stick with the S/S.

Saw 3 fixie riders this morning, hardly see any week to week.. must be something in the water that#'s causing them to breed.

 

[BSRU]

@ianrauk still S/S for me, although in a minority of 1 in Swindon.

chilli this morning, so i threw on my £8 Lidl's lightweight cycling jacket. Not only is it not very waterproof, it's not very breathable.

Already got the knee warmers and arm warmers out... as soon as I can see my breath, they go on... isn't there a good argument that compression helps you get more out of your muscles?

Yes, I was joking. It's better to layer-up when it's cold as you can slough off clothes if you get too hot.

5C this morning and one kamikaze squirrel to contend with. Also a Subaru doing 60mph + in a 30 - at least he passed me wide...Other than that - great.

Last night, I had a drafter from Ashley to Tatton - after 1.5 miles I flicked my elbow and he did a turn, but his speed dropped. He apologized and blamed it on a two week splurge in NY - I let him draft again through Tatton Park, but the elastic snapped and he could not make it to Knutsford gate. Still, nice to have company and I think I helped him reach his target of a 19mph average....

Arm warmers and no base layer this morning - was pretty much perfect. Misty to start, but the sun coming up and burning it off.

Welcome back @martinclive !

Got shouted at this morning; The lovely bloke in a car shouted "Get a job".

I was confused.

I almost forgot - some suicidal fox made a dash under my front wheel as I was just heading out.

I was confused.

'Get a brain' would have been one of my responses.

I used GAFY.
