Final commute

[PJ79LIZARD]

Twenty minutes time and I'll be embarking on my final commute................this year!!! Roll on the 2012 commutes bound to be colder but slowly getting more light.

Merry Christmas fellow cycle commuters!

WOO HOO!!
Though it doesn't matter to me as I'm always riding one leg of the commute in the dark anyway.

Did my last commute last Thursday night/Friday morning, not back til 3rd Jan

That's great. There's nothing then stopping you from reaching your yearly mileage target IS THERE!

And the evenings are getting longer already (as of yesterday). OK, the mornings are still getting darker (and will do so for another week or so), but who cares when you know that Summer is on the way....

My last ride tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it 'cos I've been poorly for about 10 days and I've had to resort to the motorbike a couple of times. I'm working Weds as well, but I have to take the car as I'm going for a Christmas works lunch after.
I've done really well this year, and my cycle to work ratio is just above 95%. Well done me!

No more for me.. Just some leisure rides trying not to bin myself at the traffic lights when I forget to unclip (just fitted the final bits to my clipless setup!)

This is a great week for commuting, no school traffic, lots of people on holiday already and the weather looks very good(apart from yesterday).

Much less traffic now, yesterday was horrid for the commute. Wet and windy with greasy roads for both directions. Today is much better. Nice sunny dry day in Londinium.

I have been leaving a lot later for the last 3 weeks, encountered a lot more traffic. Plus weather conditions been a little crap wind etc. My times had been really hit 1.05 avg and speed down to mid 13's was getting a bit worried. Was putting it down to winter CX bike\weather\traffic then this morning clear run nice and warm (relatively) 55 mins and close to 16mph fastest time for ages and felt like a decent workout. Couldn't face doing traffic runs all the time would do my head in, hats off to you city commuters..

Will commute right up to Friday, even considering getting up early and going in to work Christmas Eve collect my run around work car and leave the bike out of the way @ work go back in and collect bike Monday ready for next week.

Winter riding always has a lower average. Weather & road conditions and more clothing does slow one down..

Possibility of a balmy 12 degrees tomorrow .
Also not had to use my Marathon Winters this winter, last year they were already being used by the 24th of November.
