I've got a decidedly cool inner tube mudflap. The amount of muck that doesn't hit the bike any more is astonishing.

Riding to work this morning. I'm about 200m away from work at this point; the sun is rising over one of the taller mountains of the Black Forest, about ten kilometres away.
There are some issues with living here, mainly being away from the family all week which is frankly pants.
On the other hand, at times like this, I feel blessed.

Any else have issues with donkeys getting in the way while you are drying your cycling gear ?

A perennial problem in some places I'd imagine. 😁

Of course, the wind got much stronger during the day today, and was now a headwind on the way home. Made the ride hard work and slow, exacerbated by additional traffic due to the rail strike.

I have two of those aswell 😆Could be worse. If it were goats, they'd probably eat the gear

Why couldn't this have turned up 24 hours earlier - it would have made coping with today's wind so much easier

Had to make an unplanned early dash home so I could get to the hospital to visit my Uncle in hospital. My gear was all very horribly damp and the rear brakes are very noisy.

That doesn't sound good. I hope the situation with your uncle is resolving.

Well considering how moist I was from the morning commute, I decided to risk my my usual extended route home down the Roe Green Loop line ( NCN55), Worsley woods, Old Warke Dam, Worsley Delph and the Bridgewater canal. I dodged the wet stuff ten minutes from home and then it lashed down ! Still worth it though

Nice fast ride into work last night with a hefty tailwind, but coming how this morning was sooo slow and I had no energy. I may succumb to the car tonight

I had one of my fastest rides home yesterday with the strong tailwind. Flying along at 21-22 mph on the flat. Mrs Z remarked that I was home earlier than normal so the benefit must have been noticeable. Sadly, I didn't look at my watch when I left work, so I don't know the actual journey time.
