Tales from today's commute....

I'm getting real pain in my lower back riding on my geared bike. I've adjusted the saddle height to compensate but things not quite working.

A demoralising week

Marginally better but still awful

The Daily Wail would say it's immigrant witches controlling the weather!

Definately.

Not had any real numpties for a while and then three come along in one day. On the way in, a car pulled out from a side road on my right without looking requiring careful braking on a damp, decorative brick like surface. Then on the way home at this crossroads, the light turned green for me & the cars behind and we pulled out, only to come across TWO cars coming from the left that had ignored the red light. The second one even had the temerity to flip the bird as if WE were in the wrong (although it may have been in response to my coffee bean shake in his direction).

Having been ill for a month today was the first commute for a while, aleo the forst commute in daylight, so I took the 'long' ride and didn't cough my lungs onto the road.

So far so good. The return is a gentle downhil for most of the way so it is a nice way to finish the day.

As weather and lung capacity improves I'll start being a bit more adventurous...

There seemed to be a couple of things missing from this morning's commute compared to recent days - the wind & the rain!

Lovely ride in today. Nice and quick, barely any wind. My speed was up there with my summer speed, and I wasn't on the summer bike. My CX bike is what I use for winter, and it has wider, semi-slick tyres and CX gearing (46/36, with 11-34 at the back). So either it was a fluke or I've gotten fitter. We'll find out once I'm on the summer bike.

Got a nice 30miler in yesterday to dust off my summer legs. Commute this morning was so-so.

A nice commute in earlier was tempted to use the Raleigh royal i picked up Saturday but opted in the end for the old faithful Marin

Gentle tail wind
Dry
Sunshine

Unreal!

Sounds like everyone had as enjoyable a ride to work as I did today. Extended the ride a little to take in a hill.

One of those mornings where I had to convince myself to ride the long route, then felt dissapointed when I realised I was approaching the tram stop.
