Tales from today's commute....

[MisterStan]

Coming home from work yesterday in the early afternoon the temp was 40 Deg. C, I was shattered when I got in and sat in an A/C room for about 20 mins before getting a shower!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just spat some tea out as I thought you were still in Wales! I see you're in China now though. 40 Deg is just too much, what was the humidity?

Posted on 'spotted' section last night. On way home last night, me and Edwards80 had 'bumped' into each other. We'd passed a group of 4 lads on MTB's cycling on the pavement - I'd got a little bit of banter from them (nothing much). Anyway, we are then sat at lights to cross the A34, and these 4 lads hop across the traffic and jump the first section of dual carriageway - no idea how to ride bikes. They then cross over as soon as they can, me and Edwards80 roll off on green. Me feeling a bit evil, hearing a few bits of banter again from the lads (3 on pavement, one trying his hardest on the road), I shout over 'hurry up, hurry up' as we accellerate past them. Left them for dust.

Slow ride home, pretty depressed. There's a reshuffle at work and i'm told there's no place for me in my department. May be down the jobcentre soon.

Hopefully this won't be the case.

Pootled home with the guys tonight. Really makes a nice change to not hammer it. Only took 10 mins longer too.

Very grumpy on the ride home. Seems to be the idiots day out. Had several SMIDSYs, a couple of people rolling forward into my path whilst texting, and a Boris biker who sailed into the path of a group of cyclists on the mile end road without even looking. And my front brake cable worked loose as I was nearing home.

Been sat on the other side of the table doling it out for months. Inevitably, got told two weeks ago it's now my turn...

Uneventful commute in/out of London, until I reached Southall around 7:30pm tonight. 5 close calls in the space of 2 miles - Eid Mubarak if your of the Muslim faith - but please keep a look out for cyclists!

Ride home was fun until I reached Longfield High Street where I came across work men sorting out a major sewerage problem there was foul smelling waste water and toilet roll all over the road which I had to cycle through , my ride in this morning was Wet N Warm got caught in the downpour at around 7ish, forgot my overshoes and feet are now really squelchy (really need to invest in some race blades!)

Run off the road by an overtaking which had to avoid going into the back of a stationary car turning right. I was doing 42mph.. in a 40mph limit. Surprisingly I was & sill NOT HAPPY!
