Tales from today's commute....

[BigAl68]

Well it was very windy and it had brought down plenty of twigs and branches but nothing as apocalyptic as the weather presenter had made it out to be. I had a couple of miles of pure sweet hell into a massive headwind and a couple of vicious side winds that made we wobble like a toddler on a balance bike but I got to work in one piece even if it took 15 minutes longer than normal. Lets hope I get a huge tailwind home as that could be fun. Be safe out there peeps.

It's certainly been windy out there, there is a strange noise coming from my roof, I'm assuming it's the ariel is no longer in the correct place.

More than a little bit blowy around here... Struggling to get above 10 mph on the most exposed stretch across the levels.

Hopefully the wind direction stays the same for the afternoon.

Wow what a tail wind!!
32 mph down the bus way on the flat, and overtook a car in Cambridge !

I kept thinking this is how @MisterStan rides everyday!

Its going to be hell going home!

I had the headwind in so I hope to fly home with a tailwind

21.4 mph average for the 18 miles. On the 'winter commuter' bike. That'll do nicely.

Tonight is going to be a lesson in pain!

have to meet someone in sunny Croydon tonight so no ride in...why does this happen when there's a brilliant tailwind???? Still at least I don't get the headwind tonight spose.

Just as my commute in was this morning... Jebus H Bryce..it was tough work. Not only with headwinds which at times felt like I was hitting a brick wall, some very blustery side winds made for wobbly times.

Yep, same here - plus had some guy drafting me for most of my commute. Cheeky bugger!

The worst part was near Bellingham Bus Garage... that was BLOWY!!!

 

[MisterStan]

It was pretty much all tail for me, barring a very short hit of side gusts as I left the estate I live on - nearly caught me out and only 100 meters from my door!

Windy. Very windy. That is all.
