Tales from today's commute....

[kevin_cambs_uk]

I thought it can't be as bad as last year, but checking my stats. This time period last year I had 8 rainy commutes. The same period this year... 8
The wind this week has been a complete pain though.

Absolutely chief

Windy is an understatement!

Your post prompted me to check. 270 miles up on last year so far.

Yet another bright, breezy & sunny morning followed by a dreary, windy & wet return commute. Tomorrow and most of next week promises more of the same with added lack of warmth.

I blame Brexit for us not getting more of that nice, warm European weather we had a couple of weeks ago

Just a couple of commutes recently, as I've been doing stuff in the morning, and tending grandchildren before work.

Recently back home from an extended commute, in a breezy, but not cold, night.
Usual 12.5 there, and 17.5 back. I've been in the classroom, at work, doing my drivers CPC (Certificate of Professional Competance) that we must do every year, so needed the air to clear my brain

Been a tough week with mixed weather but we made it !

I still have my Saturday shift to do, but I'll be driving as I have to much stuff to bring home.

View attachment 452336 View attachment 452337 View attachment 452338 It doesn’t get any better when the weather is so good...... unless you are driving into Manchester

At least they've got plenty of time to contemplate the lovely Spring weather hahaha!

Well that was a mixed ride. The wind was largely behind me for around the first 60% of the journey and with the rest of the journey in the same direction, it was looking like a fast and thanks to the drying effect of the wind, clean bike ride. Then the heavens opened like a tap being switched on and I was caught in a painful hailstone shower with the following handful of miles spent carefully riding my way over hail covered roads, which were then followed by miles of roads which were still draining from the deluge. Arrival at work damp and cold.

Breezy, icy and slow going. Return journey going to be just as rubbish.


The rest of the week is looking dire for even getting across the bridge other than using the train or cadging a lift over.

Hard work this morning, freezing but sunny and headwind the whole way
