Tales from today's commute....

The A23? In Earlsfield?

Well there about just past the Hospital past the tip ;-)

4th commuting/business trip of the day coming up shortly !

That's no way to describe Tooting and I think that's the A24 isn't it

 

[PJ79LIZARD]

Right I've had a word with myself, the legs are coming out for the journey home, if your in the west midlands it's time to Put your shades on!

Or it could be Earlswood, rather than Earlsfield. About a mile from where I'm pretending to work right now.

Not looking forward to my commute home. Very tired legs.

Shame, because it's such a nice day.

For the first time this year I rode home in my shirt sleeveswarm evening but a bit breezy, was making me work but not slowing me down much, I've still got tired legs from Sunday's 52 miles, the pain is that it was cold enough for a light jacket and sweatshirt this morning and they had to go on the back of the bike tonight, I could feel the extra weight on the back all the way home.

So warm this afternoon, the long sleeved top was too warm, short sleeves tomorrow. Stopped to pick up the light of another cyclist that pinged off and got crushed by a car. Stopped to let a learner driver complete his three point turn, slowed for traffic at a couple of pinch points and still managed an average of 17mph. This is really starting to be fun after the nasty winter commutes.

Just one of those evenings when all the cycling Gods come together. A nice sunny, warm evening, a bit of a tailwind and some SCR makes for a fantastic commute. I flew up Bromley Hill. My quickest commute home this year.

Lovely.....

I apply the 10 degrees rule, regarding shorts. Althought I noticed I was able to withstand as low as around 7 degrees on Sunday morning, early. I find this somewhat surprising, in light of the recent absence of hair.

3/4 longs at 10C, shorts as 20c?
If shorts at 10C... what did you knees do to deserve that abuse?

 

[Sittingduck]

I took it easy for the first few miles and had no issues. Glad of the shorts when the sun came out to play!

 

[GrasB]

Taking it easy isn't going to help much when air temps are much bellow 20C. There a reason 3/4 longs I got out today are rated from 12-25C...

Lovely ride home, shorts and tee shirt - unfortunately left work late so only got in 11 miles

I have 2 pairs of 3/4 and I do like them a lot. If I waited until 20 degrees at the beginning of a ride before wearing shorts, I would either never wear them at all or have to start my rides in the afternoon. CBA with leg warmers either.
