Has anybody dared venturing out on their bike today

[simon.r]

There appear to be 6 or 7 of you who ventured out today. Out of interest, how many if you were out solely to “KOM Chase”?

Just want to put that one to bed.

Not me, honest. No segments on my short local rides.

Complete tosh so far then...

I was out for a couple of hours in Glasgow this morning.
Very dull , almost dark, but humid , with little wind.
The afternoon , when I was indoors was wet and windy.

Rode in as normal with no wind at 6 am , coming home after 5 pm it was farking orrible .
Doing around 10 mph into the wind getting hit by leaves, twigs and plastic bags and the wind from across the fields trying to push you into the gutter , fence panel blown out when i got home too.

3 miles into city centre earlier this evening - wind at my back, downhill most of the way. What's not to like?

The 3 miles back to home ... up hill, wind in my face. Granny gear time. And walked over the motorway flyover.

One mile each way to work, at 8am and 1pm.. Morning ride was fine with a slightly favourable wind. Homeward bound was just after the morning winds had died down, and pre Ophelia, so by our low standards it wasn't too bad. Certainly wasn't going to extend the ride though!

Your prayers were answered. I returned safely.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Yep, it is not windy across all the country

Took youngest son to choir practise, on our bikes this evening. It was blustery on the way there, but had a great tailwind on the way home.

 

[DCLane]

My 13yo raced at Manchester this evening, but that was indoors so I'm guessing it doesn't count

 

[Slick]

I didn't risk it. It was nice enough this morning but forecast was bad for the afternoon so I thought it was prudent to give it a miss. I reckon it will 've Wednesday before I get out as it's howling here at the moment which is to continue well into tomorrow.

 

[Hacienda71]

Headwind into work, tailwind on the way home. Nothing else to report.

 

[mikeymustard]

It's only a 5 minute ride to work for me - 2pm not terribly nice, but didn't really notice when I came home at 10.

That sun was amazing this morning though, like the end of days! It also went so dark that our garden lights came on!
It reminded me of that total eclipse we had in '99 was it? We were on hols in Dorset and it not only went dark but all the birds went silent too

 

[Thorn Sherpa]

Only to and from work that was enough with this wind to be honest!

 

[Accy cyclist]

Yes,i went out for a ride in it. Nothing happened apart from a sudden gust of wind making me wobble. It was very warm for the time of year. 20 Celsius(68F)someone told me.
