On the way to work theres a large pothole in the road between Ash Green and Bedworth, its been there longer than I've been riding this commute, I've been riding round it for two years, this morning I dropped the back into it :sad::angry:, tonight I've got to work the ding out of the rear rim, I rode the rest of the way to work and home tonight with the rear brake released.

Rode along next to a lady in an Audi convertible today, looking down at her phone for a good 100 meters or so. I shouted "BOO" at her.

Yes I am a huge jerk but watching her jump and drop her phone was entertaining :smile: Silly lady.

It's a good way to do it to be honest - none confrontational. :thumbsup:

Rode in today. Uneventful ride, but I felt a bit off all the way. Within half hour at work had head down toilet chundering so Wonan came in Mom Truck to bring me home. Currently laying in bed feeling distinctly green.

Chilly toes this morning (been wearing my SPD sandals recently, which I highly recommend) and had a really nice chat with a couple of guys on their way to London. Respect, that's at least 16 miles (depending if they started where I did)

Chap decided to scalp me this morning, but didn't really count as I was slowing down to take a right turn! You plonker that was why I was hanging my right arm out. It wasn't obviously to check the wind direction as this moron must of thought. Some people!

I twice scalped a girl on a Pashley who's bike and basket looked even heavier than my bike and basket and Coldharbour Lane was closed off by the police so I had to detour but that was as much excitement as I got this morning.

It seems to be a lot cooler commuting to Croydon than it did to Central London. I counted 7C as the cutoff point for wearing a jacket on my central London commute.This morning felt distinctly chilly at 14C!!

Do you come through Epsom? I chatted to someone yesterday who was Croydon bound, wonder if it's you.
