Tales from today's commute....

[hennbell]

What a difference a fortnight makes, snow 2 weeks ago today +28C. Will not go back to tights till October so nice out.

Best day of the year here today. Really should of taken the day off.

Extended my commute in. Definitely going for a lunch time cycle and then at 5:00 on the dot i am out of here for an extended cycle home.

Because the rest of the week is meant to be rubbish.

Best morning commuting weather of the year so far, shame work got in the way otherwise I would have just kept going and going.

Only fly in the ointment, apart low flying insects, mini-WVM complete muppet overtake but entertained by two drivers trying to crash into each other on the magic roundabout.

Nice commute in this morning in the sunshine, legs a bit tight from yesterday, but looking forward to tonight's commute before the rain comes back

Lovely this morning.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Hard work to start with, had three days off last week and did a fair bit of mileage (for me!) on the road bike, so getting back on the hybrid this morning was fun. Anyway 33 miles of brilliant sunshine, planning a similar distance tonight as the forecast for the rest of the week looks crap.

Glorious!!!

 

[jarlrmai]

Actual sweat!

Shorts and short-sleeved jersey. Detour to add a few more minutes. Bliss.

I echo the great weather reports above I'd been tempted to go further but today was just a short recovery commute for me 4.3miles round the Peterborough rowing lake and no conflict to report
Oh and I forgot filtering past a long line of cars at one of the local pinch points

Maybe you should revise your ticker; congrats btw on reaching your target before we are even halfway through the year

Finally rebuilt my Gary Fisher over the weekend - glorious ride in this morning (first with cleats, which was less terrifying than expected - sure my first clipless moment is due on the way home though). Slight ticking sound on a couple of the smaller rings on the cassette, which suggests there's an excuse for some more tinkering tonight. The very definition of good times...

 

[Leodis]

Wonderful ride in, missed my best by 10 seconds but Meh, roll on the ride home can...not...wait...

Lovely this morning.

wahooo

shorts and summer top (with arm warmers and a base layer)


Hybrid and canal today-forgotton my bottom bracket was shot on the normal commuter.

Great weather this morning for the commute and the shorts came out for the first time in a long time (on a commute anyway, my knees are still a little red from catching the sun on the 70 mile leisure ride to Kew and back on Saturday).

I really wish I hadn't been so lazy with deciding to do the 10 mile (rather than 20 mile commute) commute this morning, as it would have been great heading to Epping this morning. I will have to extend tonights commute if the weather continues to stay this nice.

Although the rest of the week according to the MET office is not looking so great
