Good luck!

Good luck all!
I have the week off aswell, so I share the blame for this weather. I was planning some serious mileage too

What a ride!!!

That was a most hair raising experience, though good fun at the same time. Took it very slow, got very wet, loved it!

Well the wind in Bristol has calmed from its 4 am frenzy, and now just looks breezy, but its predicted to get worse again yet (hopefully after 9am).

so. 18:00 when I leave the office, the met are predicting 38mph winds in Ipswich... and SSW is almost a perfect headwind for me on the long flat, high-ground run home... nice workout...

Luckilly the large hill I climb is quite protected from the wind.

It'll be all over by thursday... and I dare say we're getting off quite lightly over here FFFF.

Just got in and it was a blast with a tailwind of SSE25, thats less than I was expecting with what they were forecasting last night. The ride home should be more of a challenge.

Hey Dudi, the Orwell Bridge is closed so all the cagers have been diverted through the town centre hahahahahaha

So glad I decided to come in on the bike this morning rather than bottle out and use the cage

Fine up north (Manchester) - just breezy and some rain - a few gusts, but nothing to knock you off track - I think we are supposed to get something later (but then maybe not).

OK that was....interesting. Could be my fastest time ever! Not as interesting as the ride home will be though, right into the wind and rain Didn't even consider the bus though, NOW I'm a cyclist!!!

Today's my day off, so I didn't have to ride. If I had been, I would have taken the upright, because covered wheels and a tailfairing could make for exciting handling in this much wind!

Hi Mikey, just reading about you in this months Cycling plus magazine,
45 miles a day commute ??

Was a tad breezy this morning, got a bit wet and was going about 5mph at times, riding at the edge of the road, then trapped there by traffic and was forced to ride straight through a small lake that had accumulated at the side of the road, got covered by some arse in a van that went ploughing straight through besides me.

 

[BentMikey]

I'm sure I put 42 miles, not 45? Aye, my legs are hurting today after the weekend's commuting, and also because I've been a bit lazy since Christmas.

 

[Tynan]

not all that in London, the odd gust but that was about it, even the rain petered out

 

[John the Monkey]

Bloody awful in Crewe at 6am this morning, so I bottled it and walked/took the train. Will be easier to carry my Lidl goodies home tonight, if nothing else

I noticed the phenomenon of raindrops on my glasses being blown sideways across the lenses!!! I was doing about 10kmh, leaning sideways into the wind - I've never had that happen before.
