Base layer and long sleeve jersey plus buff - too much clothing! Watch out ladies, I may have to get my legs out next week. Well they're so pasty white, drivers won't have any excuse for not seeing me!
I don't know if it's down to the weather and increase in temperature but my speed this week really seems to have improved.
 
For him... it was a good thing you was in front of the van and not the other way round.
What a knob!
Indeed - good point! Just cannot believe if you are going to run a light that you are not extra vigilant!
Thanks

Warmer and not as windy this morning, though I am really starting to feel the extra miles I am doing, done over 450 miles this month already.

Ride was quiet apart from whenever I went over a rough surface, bike squeaks when the road gets bumpy, it's driving me mad.

Talking of dodgy cycling in Cambridge. I was crossing Victoria road at stretten ave-saint Luke's rd stopped at the lights. They turn green I pedal a young lady with a big basket decided to undercut me, made me jump as I'd just looked over my right shoulder and seen nothing. Pretty sure she's done it before.
Saw a nice bike as well, a giant I think if some sort. Proper commuter, he had leopard print ear muffs on I'm sure of it lol.
Otherwise an uneventful journey, quicker than normal as well :biggrin:

Wind deffinately felt like it as eased off a bit this morning, still grey and cloudy though, in anticipation of the rain that's forecast, well I'm sure the garden plants will be thankfull of a drop of rain.

Especially the lights I was at people always jump reds there! Nearly been wiped out by a few cars who haven't noticed that red means stop!
