Tales from today's commute....

Back on the bike after a week's break. Yesterday much nicer than this morning's showers, although they faded away and left me overdressed. Shocked how much the vegetation has grown in just a few days not riding. Glad to be cycling again.

Car today, last night I had really bad sniffles I think was caused by dust and pollen from where the farmer was doing something in the field yesterday as I was sneezing and dribbling constantly all evening and woke up this morning although a lot better I still felt bleurgh.

Got wetted on the way home.

I was so very lucky.
A massive squall 10 minutes before I left work cleared just before I did actually leave.
Train approached Rochester in a massive cloudburst. Stopped by the time I left the station.
How lucky is that?
Bike got filthy though from the sheer amount of standing water.

What a difference 13 hours makes. Glorious this morning.

One numpty driver. Near work I was catching up four other cyclists, so I was in primary. Driver overtakes me then decides he wants to turn left and slows down, but can't turn as there are four cyclists in the cycle lane. I have to brake, mumble, and pull out into the opposite lane and overtake. As I'm passing he gives me the one finder salute. I told him to 'go forth'. Just why ?

Got wetted on the way home.

Also got wetted. Timed it badly, started raining just as I left, stopped as I got home. Sunny this morning, but forecast wet again later. Enjoyed the sun while it was there.

I think we are getting wet again. My BIL got soaked in the morning but was dry going home, the opposite of my commute - just a few minutes different to me - similar route home to me but shorter.

Missed the rain other than the back end of a passing shower half a mile from home. Phew

abit damp in the morning, but threaded the gap between the shower systems moving through on the way home.

with just the normal style ride of some drivers getting remarkably road ragey over nothing as per usual, I saw someone claim the other day drivers behave better thesedays on the road around cyclists because they all think we have cameras...not round here they dont.
