Tales from today's commute....

[skudupnorth]

Far from over I think. I'm sure I'll be in full legs through April at least. The overshoes will go first.

I've not worn longs since I don't know when although I do push the boat out with Sealskinz socks and gloves

Cold this morning, which I usually ride off within the first couple of miles but this morning I just seemed to stay cold and so slow. My shirts and jersey were soaked when I got to work so I think I may just be tired, though I can't get warm at work either.
I hope I'm not coming down with anything.
At least its stopped snowing.

Someone sprayed their windshield fluid just as I was passing and it hit me in the face/mouth.

Commutes were fine and sunny.... Though I can't have been going that fast uphill as a little old lady offered to give me a push.

Mind you my commute obviously went better than someone else's .... Spotted a man walking with a petrol can (nearest garage is about a mile from there), and wondered where he broke down, carried on my journey only to find a car abandoned on a motorway slip road on the lights with a grumpy policeman looking round trying to spot the driver....

Lovely morning crisp and sunny - have to fight my way through some crappier parts of Surrey but this makes it worth it the last 4 miles

Wow. Great picture. That is as good as it gets!

Glorious weather both ways today. Chilly but clear blue skies and a lovely sunset.

Parts ordered for the single ring adaptation. Decided to go for a smaller chainring as it would make the bike more than just a flat lands commuter...

Took an abnormal route in today as wasn't sure whether there would be ice patches on my normal commute. I remember why I don't go this particular abnormal route much - passed by a bus within 50cm of my bars. Email to bus company and had an apology back.

Bike picked up after a new rear wheel and service, annoying flapping bar tape wrapped up tight and tidy, gears clicking like a dream, new brake pads as sharp as you like and a lovely misty frosty ride home.

Murky and cold at around -1C, but no ice to speak of. Roads unusually busy with a few tailbacks on rural B roads which meant a bit of cautious filtering.

Am going to delay the change to a 1 x 10 set up until April as I'd like to see the back of the salt/grit on the roads.

Perfect commuting day yesterday. A bit fresh on the way in but the evening sun, albeit only 4 deg C, was lovely. Turned it into a proper Spring trip at 66 miles with a couple of small efforts thrown in. Had a bit of SCR with a guy who was about a quarter mile in front, only managed to get to maybe 5 bike lengths by the time we parted company 4.5 miles later, kept me right on my toes.

Trying to remember not to assign to malice that which can be adequately explained by incompetence, but some buggers do that on purpose.

I could do with some of that UK weather right now. Yesterday's ride home was a hot and windy one, with the temperature staying between 37° and 40°C for the whole 31.5 hilly km. Then the overnight minimum was 27, giving me a warm (and also windy) ride to work just now in the pre-dawn darkness. Autumn has been indefinitely postponed here in Australia.

I feel like someone's showing off

... and I get the impression that someone's sniping. The whole point of my post was: it's hot here, and I wish it wasn't. I was just sharing that with my fellow CC forum members.
