Tales from today's commute....

[wafter]

Yesterday I yielded to the biblical rains, forsaked the sausages, had breakfast at home and took the most direct route to work; arriving manageably damp thanks to the waterproofs. The return leg was short as well as I had to be home for an appointment...

Today saw a return to the norm; feeling great for getting out amongst it on a mild and only slightly drizzly morning

A short pleasant ride this morning - short owing to lack of time
Pleasant because of the weather and also the traffic was less aggressive than usual.

i had to laugh as anti cyclist rabble rouser was doing a phone in on LBC on Sunday about how cyclists were the cause of all serious injuries / deaths by going through read lights and encouraging the hatred of cyclists by the listeners ( OK, maybe a slight exaggeration- maybe not).
The number of motorists I saw today going through not changing lights, but long changed to red seems to be ignored by those presenters and the callers. Obviously in their car its justified to go through a red light. Its the highway authorities fault for having red lights there anyway ( ok rant over)

Made the run up to the grocer’s early today, I had a choice between early and a cool 5C or later, warmer and pissing rain.

this stupid thing is so nice to ride I got home before I realized I’d never had the motor on.

I guess the important thing is that the car didn’t get its motor turned on either.
