Blue patch of sky appearing overhead. About to head home.

Yes, got soaked last night, but I always have a packable waterproof top for the way home, and only a 25 minute run, so can survive wet trousers - can change as soon as I get back.

Came in yesterday in shorts and t-shirt - was still hot and sweaty (how - it's all downhill!?). I had to break out the lightweight waterproof and leg warmers for the journey home. I actually quite like cycling in the rain. It's cooler and motorists tend to give you more room: presumably they're scared to get too close to the nutter cyclist!

Just about to go home and some blue sky's appeared - yay!

Went out in non-waterproofs yesterday morning, fortunately had left waterproofs at work from a previous journey so I was able to ride home in them.

What I didn't do however, was take my keys from my non-waterproof Tudor Sports jacket and so was locked out of my flat! On the plus side this gave me the opportunity to get round to seeing Kick Ass while I waited for my neighbour with spares to get home that evening!

In conclusion - not that great a film. Entertaining, but quite flawed.

Did an extra 5 miles this morning, Had to take a bike seat back. It was one of those front mounted ones which meant 9 miles of pedalling like a frog with the seat digging into my chest.
Yeah it was when I left at 4.20pm then after 10 mins it rained then sunny again.
Headwind was brutal though.

Missed it in the end - had to zip my waterproof top right down - lots of spray, so overshoes worked a treat. Hissed it down after I'd showered when I went out to wash the bike though.

Perfectly timed for me. The clouds parted an hour before I left, so it was both dry (mostly) and bright. Phew! :smile:

smidge of rain on the way home, beat the worse of it just

it's only water, all I might wear different is overshoes at this time of year in London

get cold = ride faster, on a commute anyway

Well i managed to dodge it! thank god for that. I left my bag at work on thursday night (took two sets of clothes) so i could have a light ride on the way home and the way in on friday. This meant i either braved it (as i did) and just go in shorts and t-shirt or wear waterproofs. Well the later wasn't going to happen!
