Tales from today's commute....

I'm having to be brave and face days without cake. Seeing my tum in some holiday snaps has given me motivation.

It was due to be wet on the way in so I wore a lightweight Galib waterproof, but the rain stayed off. At least it kept the wind chill away & I can pack it away for the way home if it remains dry. One close pass to report, driver of a small van CBA to turn the wheel a little further to the right unlike everyone else.

Full winter gear again this morning so if the weather is as predicted I shall be carting loads of extra layers home later. Put the saddle back up to the old position as it felt like I was struggling to get on top of the gears yesterday.

Well done.
It's what I've got to do. I'm a good few KG's over what I should be. But too many veggie samosas, greggs sausage rolls and biscuits are my downfall.

Crisps and biscuits at work. Nightmare having a shop 100 yards from the office. Sticking to it as I'll keep the doc happy and my speed will go up.

I only get what i take to work in my sarnie box , we do have vending machines but you have to top up your card via an app for funds so i do not do it so there is no temptation .
Only downside is if we get a big break down and get hammered for 2 hours overtime .

Longer return ride done - wasn't so keen as the wind was hard on the two miles South from work before I turn East, but carried on in a Southerly direction into the wind. 20 miles under the belt 30 for the day.

G'morning folks.
A bit nippy again this morning. 4° showing on the thermometer. But nice and sunny. It's looking like a cracking day.
Mist over Rochester.

I was very lucky for yesterday evenings commute. It decided to pee it down quite heavy 10 minutes before leaving. Luckily it only lasted about 15 minutes so I left in the dry but on very wet roads.
