Tales from today's commute....

[Drago]

are you well enough to drive?

Yeah, reckon I'm ok. Visions fine and its not so bad I can't concentrate.

Met office recons biblical rain for 5 pm. Bloody well better not be. Sat outside the office now. Sunny.

Perfect temperature this morning made for a lovely ride. Only downside was that after changing my chain last night I've now got slipping gears, knew I should of bought a new cassette at the same time. Early morning order to Wiggle when I got to work, just can't put any torque through the bike for the next couple of days.

not overly wet but sweating buckets due to dressing badly, hopefully the return journey it either rains or doesn't so i can dress properly ;-)

And every time I see their Cyclists Dismount signs I am so tempted to pick them up and throw them in the bushes!

This is how we deal with the damn things around here!

The rain has arrived.

if I would have obeyed the Dismount sign, I'd have walked the next mile for no reason as there wasn't a single dug up bit or vehicle in the way, they have gone home leaving the path clear save for the cyclists dismount sign!

For the homeward commute I was expecting to get wet again but decided to wait till I caught a shower before putting on my waterproofs.... And I dodged all the showers

Well that was wet. Very wet. Very wet and windy. Very wet and windy and dark.
Gadzooks...!

The rain has arrived.

It got me at the end of my commute, got out of work at a quarter to five to dark grey and threatening skys, but it stayed dry until I got to the Bull And Anchor pub about a mile from home at which point it hammered down for about five minutes and I arrived home dripping.

 

[fossyant]

Missed the rain. Just.

 

[Simpleton]

My chain snapped and I had to get the train. An experience that I really don't like.

are you well enough to drive?

Perhaps I should've asked myself that question more thoroughly, seeing as I ended up in Hospital with my heart acting up again Just got home.

I'm really sorry to hear that . I'm one who sometimes drags myself in on a bike when I perhaps should question whether I'm well enough to work, rather than considering which transport option. So have you got to take a few days off again?

You've gotta look after that ticker bud, take it easy.
