Tales from today's commute....

Crossed with Ian Stannard this morning.

I do this whenever our blender is in use and have been doing for about 10 years so its become a running joke but I always laugh more because I know that my wife never watched the fast show so she just thinks it's me being brilliant and hilarious.

Still, if somebody had told me a few years ago I'd be commuting by bike in these conditions by choice, I'd have laughed at them.

Yesterdays Ride home - 25 Miles of rain...... IN MY FACE! At no point did 'Fun' occur during this ride. That is all.

I suppose business miles class as commute for the purpose of this forum.
I have just been past a canalside "work space " in Hackney and seen a tragic hipster wearing a Fez. jeez I must be getting old

Of course they do, you get double points if you extend a business mile ride as well

As a resident of Hackney, I'm ashamed (*makes note to buy fez and extend beard length by 4 ft*)

Was enjoying a nice lie in this morning until @martinclive called me and told me he had a puncture!

.........I had to walk 100 yards up the road to get a signal just to disturb you too!!!!!

Just remembered from yesterdays commute home, I was thinking "I haven't seen John for ages" then... I saw him!

..............shorts, balaclava and shades - hard to miss!!!!

Another good week commuting to work, only downside was rain on the way to work on Thursday, and rain on the way home.

I had to repair the cree t6 battery again, another tab on the battery had come off, so soldering iron back out again to fix it.
I should get the winter out of it, then buy a new battery for the start of next winter, and keep the old one as a back up.

Need to do a little bit of maintenance on the bike, front brake blocks worn out, so will replace them this weekend.

John is a Legend, always in shorts no matter what the weather!

Partly sunny and mild-ish on the return journey tonight. Thought I would just put in that little bit more distance to take me over the 2000 mile mark this year. Just keeps getting better this commuting lark...

Well done mate.

Changed my 2nd dose of meds to mid afternoon. Felt fine on way home and dispatched a Giant Defy on my MTB with winter studded tyres. So working.

Got to get this sorted as my energy levels are up and down.

The thermometers yet again didn't agree with the ice this morning fortunately it was a fraction warmer than the other day and it was melting and almost completely gone by the time I got to work 30 minutes later. Not muchh to say really other than it was a sluggish start buta fast ride in at the end and I passed a flowering Daffodil, so it must be Spring ;-)

This evening was unotable too, more cloudy at the start but it had started to clear at the end an hour later. On the spur of the moment I had went for a wee explore.

Thermo on your Garmin HLab? If it is, is it the same as what I'm having, below freezing temperature will display ok whilst out riding but then doesn't display properly in Garmin Connect?
