Tales from today's commute....

[MisterStan]

Oh dear, I hope it passes quickly.

I was feeling sorry for myself this morning ... realising that my cold was affecting my concentration level. I know that as I couldn't work out, how to get a tissue out of my pocket on the back of my gillet. At the end of the ride I realised I had it on, inside out. I also had a head wind so it felt like cycling through treacle. We seem to have had less rain than others though for once, it's still pretty dry here.

Get thee behind me! (You'll have to pedal quite slowly I'm afraid.)

Wow, the wind out there is something else... methinks it's going to make for a very hard commute home.

Looking like gusts to 30 odd MPH here, right in my face. Doesn't that usually mean that you have a tailwind?

Seem's to be blowing all over the place at the moment.
And I do a higgledy piggledy route home. But as long as it's blowing southwards for the main part.

I went out for a little pootle at dinner time and the wind has really picked up here, luckily it seems to be North/Westerly so I should get a tailwind for the mountainous stage of the ride home and only the headwind on the downhill part.

Headwinds. Yay. (Headwinds, the very worst kind of winds.)

I'll find out in a minute I guess.

Today's TdeF stage... much nicer than my ride home last night.

WFH this morning then a trip to see @MacB and, incidentally, the Red Arrows this pm. One wag at Clapham Junction station was concerned, seeing my carrying a pair of wheels, that I'd left the rest of the bike behind when nicking the wheels.

Probably a concern instigated by the wearing of a dodgy flat cap good to see you again Greg

Absolutely whizzed up the hill at Commercial Road this morning, good old Gatorskins. Front wheel is definitely making some weird noises after yesterday, couldn't seem to keep it going dead straight but it seems to not be falling apart which is hopeful. Got stopped by the Sustrans fundraising types on the Common coming home, thankfully they weren't too pushy when I said I'm skint!
