Why aren't you out there?

Why aren't you out there?

I think we know the answer to that one, sadly.

All jokes aside, I enjoy a good challenge on Strava, but still wouldn’t be out there in the 50-60 winds that his us locally yesterday.

That’s the point tbh.

Oh...Do you only have one bike

Any more news on that?

My evening 4 miles yesterday were pretty much into a cold headwind...no strava cups here

I do have a second bike, but I can’t wear socks yet, let alone fit my foot in a cycling shoe. Going to give it a try again tomorrow if the weather improves.

People at Leigh Day and at local Police told me there would be no update until at least today when they are back in. Not going to chase at this stage though.

Cold headwinds don’t sound like fun btw.

Another one here out in it yesterday.
Journey home is predominantly West, so an unwelcome 17 mile combination of sudden changes of wind direction around buildings and being pushed into the road on open sections.

Have you had your foot looked at again? I'd see the GP if it's that painful/swollen still

Might well do that, although the Dr in A&E said it’s likely to remain that way for a few weeks.

Will post up on the other thread, as don’t want to hijack this one.

Yeah, I was out. 23miles in the morning before it really got going and 18miles in the evening which was mostly back into it. Mate of mine got out in the afternoon and got 10 KOMs, mind he was blooming slow coming back!
Here's a couple of pics of the cycle path from the afternoon trip;

I definitely wouldn't go for a ride today. The storm has got worse since yesterday. Howling winds and stuff flying through the air. I've just seen a bin bag floating about 20ft up in the air. Imagine that hitting you in the face and blocking your vision,or it getting caught up in your wheel while you're moving.

Hitting you when it comes down from such a height,obviously.

As a youth I remember riding with a howling gale at my tail , grinning from ear to ear as flying roof tiles smashed down on the road around me.

Forty odd years later I am grateful to have learnt that invincibility is only in the mind and stayed off the bike yesterday.
