puncture fixed and the tube is now a spare , new tyre put on although the old one has plenty of tread the sidewalls were starting to crack .
I had to do a proper reset on the brake by loosening the brake bolts to recentre the caliper then lubed the chain , the bike could do with a full deep clean but that will have to wait till the weekend .

Rain forecast overnight and warmer temps, so will be back at it tomorrow.
I think that's content I'd have to generate myself; if I can remember how the basic physics of such situations work...
yep havent ridden in this year yet due to the ice, though driving in has been proving to me why I do ride, there had been a crash and one of the local roads was closed today, so all manner of queues had built up in unusual places, and I was sitting behind this car in a queue inching forward every so often, and was wondering if Id make my first meeting of the morning., and saw the queue in front of this car had moved off, but nothing happens in the car in front, the gap gets to 10metres, still nothing happens, 20 metres getting a bit odd now, like Im not a you must never leave more than an inch between cars in a queue kind of driver, but you could fit 4 cars in this gap by now easily, 30 metres, wondering now if theyd had some medical incident as they seem kind of leant over forward in the car, 40 metres, ok theyve got 10 more secs before I take action, 50 metres....beepity,beep, clearly see the driver visibly raises head to look up, sticks thumb out of the window and quickly rejoins the queue.
hmm I do possibly wonder what that driver had been upto...📵

Damp and no ice so ride. Slightly different route this morning as its less 'filthy' and doesn't dip into the local country park where the temperatures could be enough for ice. More or less the evening ride home route.

Was that just a hint of an earlier sunrise?

Last night was hard work as were still getting hammered for overtime , didn’t finish till 12.30 am and into the cold wind all the way home so tired and hungry then up early this morning as i had a doctors appointment for 8.30
I forget stuff all the time. I keep spare pants at work, usually I have a spare shirt also! (I had to use it a while ago and didn't immediately replace it).

Car day, it's piddling it down and my thumb joints are aching plus were probably going to get hammered for overtime again

Southern Ontario, Canada. There was nothing when I went to bed last night, the drive was dry and clear. The picture was taken about 6am and it’s still at it.
Lucky I don’t live in the snow belt, about half an hour north of here they are getting a lot more.

Aye, it was busier than normal this morning (approached via Wortley). Enjoyed the smug feeling as I filtered.
