Tales from today's commute....

Glorious ride home

Might not be enjoying my cycling as much these days but every now and then I am reminded of what is so good about it.

Cool this morning, sunny all day with just a slight headwind on the way home, even got a 'hiya' off a fellow cyclist as he overtook me as I was slowing down for a photo

Glorious ride home

Did you ride home in just the company team shirt too?

It was very liberating

No, but I did unzip the pit-zips on my winter jacket

First commute for 10 days after a holiday and what a glorious morning! Foggy first thing but had cleared within about 10 miles to leave bootiful blue skies. Certainly felt it in the legs, the extra stone I gained in weight possibly not helping It's good to be back on it!

How come you are working today on a bank holiday?

How come you are working today on a bank holiday?

So I can get some miles in

I took last Thursday off so paying it back today.

Some of us are at work because it isn't a Bank Holiday in Scotland....
Glorious morning here - I was wishing I was out on the big bike doing the whole thing, rather than bike-train-biking...

Ridiculously foggy out there today. Out before 5 and visibility really low. Take care everyone. Should be a nicer ride home this afternoon. Gez

I forgot to set my alarm having had 5 days off and thought of getting the train... I am so glad I didn't as it was a beautiful ride into Bristol. There was mist all the way along the river Avon and as I was late I got to ride into the sunrise with the moon big and bright in the sky. My legs are feeling it a bit today as I did a 45 miles Friday, 62 Saturday, 30 Sunday and another 52 yesterday.... I really just love riding at the moment and really wish I had taken a few more days off as it is looking lovely out of my office window.

Lovely, lovely ride in this morning. Sun-a-shining, kids still on holiday, wonderful...except..what was it with van drivers this morning? All were impatient and bombing though the tight, pinched roads that I commute on - far more than usual. Nothing to qualify as numpty but still, bizarre.

Numpty count: 0

Day after Bank Holiday. They are all catching up.

Day after Bank Holiday. They are all catching up.

Ah that could be it. I've never worked in a job that would entail rushing back after a welcomed long weekend

A beautiful sunny morning though a little bit nippy. Was very surprised when I looked out of the window to see a bit of a frost. Outside temperature gauge was reading 1deg.

As what someone else has said, sun is shinning, kids on holiday so nice and empty roads. My dicky knee seems to be holding steady. All good.

Felt like hard work going in this morning. Gonna be a nice ride home this afternoon though, 17 degrees forecast!

A fine spring morning - a touch of frost and some mist too out in the sticks. Quiet in terms of cyclists and cars this morning.
