Replaced the pads , not rubbing on the stand but as soon as I started riding they were so I had to turn around and dig out the spare bike. Transfer the lights and panniers over then plod to work.

I opt for lights with rubber straps so its not a too time consuming job to switch them over. The only problem my spare bike is a better bike and I wouldn't choose to leave it often in the bike cage at work. I have been forced to though.

Ok 3rd time lucky tomorrow ?
reset the front pads again and transferred stuff back to the bike but its forecast sleet / snow for my commute into work so it depends on how bad it is when i get up .

Well thank you but honestly
(1) I enjoy it
(2) it's actually much safer health wise than driving
I've been wfh for the last two days for reasons, and already am missing it and looking forward to the sleet tomorrow!

Similar, WFH two days already (still not well), drove in today as gave daughter a lift into Uni with a load of 'stuff', but I'm not 100% I'm well enough to ride tomorrow - still got all sorts of gunk coming out !
I've already lost a couple of Strava Local Legends being off the bike two days... can't be having that.

Knackered, took the van ! Booo.
Morning folks.
I left work early yesterday to try an beat the incoming rain. Just managed to get to the station as it started. Heaved it down once there, drizzle at the other end.
This morning rain was threatening but didn't materialise.
I can honestly say that I've never experience so many rainy days on a commute
Rainy Commute # 20 for the year
Same period last year 2 Rainy commutes
Tomorrows not looking great. I've got a day off any way.

Freezing cold; damp, snow visible on the hills. Enjoyed it!

A bit Marie Celeste this morning in places, except the places where I normally wouldn't have to give way. A nice dry fast commute with the wind completely dropped as it is/ or has turned direction.

So much for the forecast that the rain was stopping at 5pm, I got soaked at 6.15pm 🙄 That rain seems to have brought back the traffic chaos but the drivers I did have behind me passed wide or waited politely.
