Tales from today's commute....

That was a cold start, felt a little chilly in S/S but soon warmed up.

conker alert!
They were all over the road this morning, and can be dangerous if you get the caught under a front wheel.
Traffic is well and truely back to usual levels, and it was perfect weather for a S/S top, I was toasty warm by th etime I got into work.

Was a Tattoo convention on the A21 this morning.
Myself of course, all sleeved up. Chap I called the Tattoo Man, Upper arms and legs. And another chap who had just the one sleeve.

Bit nippy first thing, 9degs, but sunny, so soon warmed up.
With the schools back in full swing you can really tell that the crappy drivers are back too.

Lovely sunny morning here Started feeling back to somewhere near normal after my crash at the weekend. The roadrash hasn't healed but the engine seems to be getting back to usual.
Was chasing a guy down along Lees Lane near Mottram St Andrew who was going at a good pace. We got stopped at some temporary lights and pulled up beside him. It was Andy Tennant from Madison Genisis. Had at chat with him, nice chap he was off on a hilly ride over the Brickworks to Buxton. Wished each other well and split at the next junction. No closes passes and the traffic wasn't to heavy. All in all a good commute.

Full gloves and jacket this morning for me, and need the front light on for about an hour as well now.

Cracking commute this morning. Ended up almost 10 minutes earlier than planned so chucked in an bonus 3 miles. Looking forward to the ride home already!

First cycle commute for a couple of weeks this morning, the hills felt like mountains and I seemed to be sweating after a few minutes despite the chilly start, must carry on now and get a few more in before I retire for the winter

Three different motons pulled out on me tonight, within half a mile of each other. If I ever invade a foreign country, or decide to overthrow our government, I will do it using troops on bikes. Seeing as we cyclists are invisible.

The numpties are indeed out at the minute. Mare of a ride in, and not much better coming home. A guy pulled out on me and a guy on an MTB, I pointed at my glasses, and the lovely man brake tested me and swerved all over the road. At this point I could see a couple of young children in the car, so I loudly said he shouldn't be driving like that with kids in the car. I bet the kids drop him in it with mummy. Class A clown.

Needed to pop to another site a couple of miles away from the office today so had the opportunity for three extended commutes today, might have got carried away. Shortest practical routes for cycling would have been 14-15 miles. Did 102.
