Tales from today's commute....

[400bhp]

Felt fairly good today, much better than the abysmal effort on satudays ride with @Hacienda71 . Maybe. . Just maybe I can start moving towards the fitness where I was last summer.

Left work and got hit by a few drops of rain, then it stopped within seconds leaving a lovely ride home. Seeing much more cyclists out and about now

Lovely wind assisted ride home tonight. Had a few spots of rain and threatened worse but it never materialised. It's absolutely peeing down now though.

Met matey boy on the leccy bike again today. Asked why he uses it, said because he had a badly broken leg which left him with damaged muscles and ligament. Used to cycle normal bikes but really can't manage many miles now. Bought it to help him get up the hills.

Missed the rain both ways. Looks like the ice bike tomorrow ?

Sunny both ways today but still cold enough for a thermal base layer - not long till the legs can make an appearance!

The cycling gods have an obvious mocker on me this week. Fairly good weather on Monday, had to drop the review car back at the office. Tuesday, hailstones. Today, lovely, crisp, bright morning and I have to pick up my daughter...can you guess what tomorrow's forecast is?

No cycling for me today.. I have a company gig I have to attend. Had to get the train (x2) with the great unwashed general commuting public. Horrid. It's a lovely cycling day out too. Bit of a frost but lovely sunny blues skies. Oh well. Back to the bike tomorrow.

Ice bike out. Looked fine but it did give me my alternative off road route to work.

No sleep due to through the night blood glucose tests for my son. He had a sick bug and being Type 1 can be problematic if you can't keep food down (risk of hypoglycemia). The diabetes team had already warned the children's ward to expect us.

Fortunately we were able to keep his blood levels fine by reducing the background insulin dose on his meter. We would probably have been in hospital if he was still injecting.

Probably best not to be riding much on the road today

Commute good, despite it only just being above zero it felt warmer in the sun.

To the gentleman in the purplish tights AND YELLOW underware - time for some new clothes (I suppose I should be grateful for the underware)

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Very frosty again this morning, but again the roads were clear so didn't bother with the ice bike. Saw hardly any cyclists this morning, frost must have put them off.

SCR this morning with a milk float, we'll call it a draw

 

[MickeyBlueEyes]

Felt a bit lacking this morning to be honest. Still, was a nice morning so extended to a 38 miler. Later finish than normal tonight so I might have to boycott the extension and have a pretty straight run back. Looking forward to a charecter building ride in the morning.

Train to Paddington from Bristol today then hired a Boris Bike to Tower Hill & back.

Quicker & cheaper than the Tube ;-)

I was riding home with my mate from work Josh, and caught by @MisterStan and Jess and Nigel.
This turned into a group ride which was a bit spirited, but I was pleased that I did my bit on the front and managed to stay with them.

I am no slacker and consider myself quite fit, but I really do wonder how I get to the next level...

Maybe I need to loose more weight

Cant imagine the monthly mortgage payment on that
