Tales from today's commute....

Puncture on way home
That’s 2 this year already

It’s trying to get tyre on when your fingers are frozen certainly sorts the men from the boys!

I was sure I had brain freeze on the way home until I took my helmet off, and realised I had put it over my cap with the brim up, and fastened it painfully to my head.

Not too bad at -2°C at 6am, but I really should have gone with thernals under the Ronhillls. Yesterday's wind & sun had dried the roads so no ice and very little wind meant that the Voodoo wasn't really needed, but it enabled a little bit of off roading on the way home for fun.

I've not done my 12.5 mile commute for the last few weeks, due to stuff going on.
I was due to ride in last Thursday, but the midnightish temperature was reckoned to be - 2 to - 3, and my back lanes home would be a bit dodgy as they're never gritted..

I rode through Brackmills industry today and saw this bit of encouragement on the cycle path.
Are there any others around?

Yes, we have several cyclist counters here, placed on the NC routes.
Here is me being number 1 for 2019 at my nearest one, 3 miles from home.

Just ridden home from the night shift. That was hard. No energy, definitely running a set of Friday legs

It doesn't happen very often so I shouldn't complain. Thankfully it's a nice dry, fresh day. Would have been utterly miserable in the rain.

Try again tonight.....

It would have been funny if somebody else had whizzed past and clocked up #2 while you were trying to get your camera out

Not a commute as such, but I had to ride to work this morning, on a day off, as Amazon delivered my item too soon. It wasn't due until the 25th.
The good thing was that I could reconnoitre the road closure I'll be coping with until September!

At least there's pedestrian access.. Just.

Looks perfectly rideable to me, just a little hop onto the raised platform and a jump off the other end. Can't see why they closed that....

I just learned a new word....I had an obvious incling before googling it.
