Tales from today's commute....

[MickeyBlueEyes]

I've done a few 100 mile days commutes. I'm pretty sure I've seen someone on here do a 100 mile one way commute, one if the Scotland lads I think.

I did a 112 mile inbound trip one day last year but then let myself down a bit by only doing a 16 mile return leg later in the day. I did a few 50 in 50 home days which I'll be doing more of soon. I'd like to think about doing a 120 in and 50 home, that's potentially my target.

Forgot to wash my padded boxers so went without, didn't notice any difference to be honest

To the hi-viz hordes. What is it that stops you from washing your custard jackets? You can wash them you know. One this morning and two this evening. Filth mongers.

They are all builders you know !!

At the moment. with all the construction going on on my commute, and it's a lot, believe me. All the builders I see are far cleaner then some of these filthy gits.

When I left home this morning there was a light fog but by the time I got to work it was so thick that I had to slow down even on the bike. The visibility was literally a few yards and I was very relieved when I got to the office. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Light traffic Friday - kids still off school and I left 10 mins early too. Hardly any other cyclists either. All WFH-ing, I assume...

Quiet ride in, light traffic. Only one other cyclist going my way in 23 miles.

I wish I'd of left a little earlier for a few more miles, still managed to squeeze in a 36 but should of been more. Got caught out a little with the fog, nothing at home but dropping down toward the river it just took over, visibility I reckon about 10 ft in places and I felt a little hidden with no rear light going. If I can get away early enough today there's a 50 mile return leg waiting for me
The legs are hurting this morning a little more though, a couple of days leg rest over the weekend will be just nice thank you.

Stockport MBC Sweeper Truck tried to include me in his sweepings this morn. Other than that a 43 minute ride today. Nice out.

Wife just rang me and asked why I cycled in this morning, apparently I should not have due to the fact I am going to die whilst exercising due to air pollution today.http://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-in-londons-air-pollution-cloud-10166913.html
I asked if she is going to drive me in and pick me up this evening to save me from expiring , she said no way, I wonder if she is now checking my life insurance policy.
