And me, a bloke in a BMW weaving from side to side every time I changed side. Got past him when he joined stationary traffic.

Rain again. Not forecast, which does annoy me!
I really hate cycling to work, but its still the best way

A gentile and slightly nervous 43.5km ride in this morning.
10 whole days off the bike to help my Achilles tendon get better, seemed to survive this mornings ride although took it easy, about 2kph of the average.
Will be taken it easy the rest of the week to give my legs a chance to get used to cycling again.

Hi Mick,
Off the bike this weekend... 'twas on a mad drinking marathon.
Sames as you though, legs nice and refreshed for the commute even after 3 days off the bike.

Well, the rain did not come as forecast which was a bonus and it was mild with a nice tailwind on the way in. Was averaging over 21mph for the first 20 miles, but got snaggled in Hale and Timperley...I doubt I'll make it home in the dry tonight.
New summer commute tyres have arrived - A Michelin Pro 4 SC 25mm for the front and a Conti GP 4000S 25mm for the rear. Will hopefully be marginally faster than my current set up, but not massively more vulnerable to punctures!

You could tell the schools were back; which was my motivation to get out of bed as I knew in 15mins it would be complete chaos. Driving left a lot to be desired as the chaos was building, do they not think if they let little johnny stand in the playground for 15minutes they could avoid all that mostly or even, if they let little Johnny walk they would avoid it all together.
