Tales from today's commute....

[Hacienda71]

Bloody windy today. Head down on the drops to cut through the worst of it. Saw Andy Tenant out this afternoon wearing the new Team Wiggins kit on his Pinarello. It looks very British.

Wet. Windy. Cold.

Dry this morning, windy this afternoon but having just seen the weather forecast I am dreading tomorrow. 50mph plus winds which will mean the cycle through the woods will be like riding through a couple of miles of fallen branches and the possibility of them falling on me. Now where is my helmet, oh yes I don't own one.

First proper wet commute in an absolute age, 17.5 miles of head wind followed by 9.5miles of tailwind, absolutely drenched but loved it.

Pretty nice out this evening actually - going up to North London to the gf's place and having to account for the numerous cyclists who appear to be in their own little world.

Not sure who are more dangerous - them, or the crazy 'I coulda rode pro' types in SW London who love to overtake with little room and then nearly hook you as they come back in too soon.

All thankfully in the minority but there you go.

Miserable.

I was really looking forward to tonights commute home as it would be the first time in ages that I've cycled home without it being in the dark.

However my enthusiasm quickly evaporated as it was a really strong headwind pretty much all of the way home followed by rain for the second half of the ride home.

The 'Miserable' from above just about sums it up!

Chain was sounding like a grinder again after the Fallowfield Loop. Took a while to clean it all up.

By eck that was windy! Headwind all the way back home.
Numpty count: 1 but not deadly serious. Some lads had got off the train and one decided to jump into the road, presumably to make me swerve. Instead he got the finger which resulted in a stream of abuse

Wind.

Windier tomorrow.

Really hoping the weather sorts itself out for the weekend.
