Tales from today's commute....

[MickeyBlueEyes]

My first Friday commute in 4 years. I'm now back to working a 5 day week (well 4 and half days) as Ian Jnr is now at school. So that will add an extra 120+ miles to my total every month.

I'd better put my game face on in the MyCyclingLog late season shoot out then!

Several "commutes" this week and all long after rush hour. Yesterday I met one car and was passed by none in the first 3 miles. But it was about 12.30pm!

Got a late one tonight, getting on the bike at 11.15pm. First dark commute for a long time!

Fairly quiet dull morning.

Numpty count: 2. Two cars cutting the space down in traffic queues as I was passing forcing a quick braking manoeuvre

Actually it still baffles me why cars overtake to join traffic jams in the first place.

lol.. it's not a race
I have been off the bike for the 3rd day in a row as I have pulled a muscle in my side.
Should be back on the bike tomorrow and friday I have a 220 miler night ride.

Of course it's not a race... I'm clearly just joking...
I think you should take at least another couple of days off the bike to rest that pulled muscle, think of the long term damage you may cause if not...
220 miles, pah, I'm off out Friday doing 221...

The way I see it is that just as long as I reach my yearly mileage total I am happy. As soon as I crack on that total.. I'm a resting..

220 miles is a bit too far for me - believe it or not I'm yet to even do my first century! But I would like to get out for a ride at some point with you. However, life is somewhat busy at the moment, we've got our first child on the way in Nov and I've spent many a weekend sorting bits in the house and garden whilst we've got the time because it's all going to change very very soon!
