Tales from today's commute....

[Slick]

How do people train their dogs to bring firewood home ?

And how come the other dog is getting away with carrying nothing ?

Look at him proud as punch too.

Yup, t'other one is hanging his head in shame !

Sometimes a driver will have very good reasons not to stop, like no licence, no insurance, no MOT or driving under the influence etc. Bad luck - at least you were not injured !

yeah

Unbelievably wet this evening on the way home, totally soaked through. On the upside I'd re-waterproofed my rain jacket last night.

How I chuckled at the thought of my son cycling to his clarinet lesson and back again in that downpour*. But I had pyjamas and a dressing gown warming on the radiator for him. Dad of the year.


*I wasn't available to take him! I was collecting the also-soaking daughter from her football session.

What strange weather for the commute home. It was drizzling when I left work so donned the windproof jacket. Halfway home I was the proverbial boiled in the bag. It was really warm out despite the rain. So stopped and took off the jacket.
Oh yes, the mighty headwind. That can do one. Can't be doing with a tough ride home thanks.

I'd rather the headwind on the way home, I'm always cutting it fine on the way in

Why do people drive faster in the rain ?

Are they worried their car will get wet ?

Short sleeve jersey and shorts, but a very windy day. Quite a workout. Missed the rain though (and last night). I doubt ill be so lucky tonight.

Same here, really hard to make progress in places, there's one section of road where I was struggling to get to 15mph where I'd normally be doing 22mph, even on the extensions. That being said there looks like a solid tailwind home tonight

It's all uphill for me on the way home so any helping windy hand I can get I will take with open arms :-)

I don't think you're getting that help tonight dear boy.

I'm leaving work here in an hour and the headwind looks real nasty.

It was this morning, I had a meeting at 9, but was late leaving home, no problem says I, I'll just hammer it all the way in, but the headwind was just brutal, so settled in to a low intensity effort as I wouldn't have gone any faster by pushing hard and accepted I was going to be late for my meeting.

My commute is North/South so it was a fun tailwind on the way in to work but god the headwind was a bitch coming home this evening.

On the other hand at least it was dry (surprisingly depsite the forecast) going both ways.
