Tales from today's commute....

The forecast deluge all seemed to happen overnight, was dry air if wet roads and puddles for a gentle ride in. Doesn't feel like June!

Very wet out, but I'm WFH. I suspect I'll be in the van this week as I'm not 100% recovered from getting hit by the lurgy on Tuesday evening last week. Weird, gone from setting a PB up a climb near home, to an hour later feeling very poorly and spending two days in bed. Managed my 'temperatures' through lots of pain killers.

East German Athlete! The urban rumour is that prior to events their coaches injected their Athletes with viruses. Their bodies would go hyper to fight them and during that hyper period they'd win. The next day they were destroyed but they'd won the medal the day before so their coaches didn't care!

I hope to be flying by weekend (assuming this weather improves !)

It's good for the garden !

After all yesterdays rain it was quite nice but fresh this morning. Traffic was starting to build but it was still quite light and polite. Nothing really happened which was a good job as I forgot to turn my Varia on I was too busy concentrating on getting moving out of the door this morning, I should have worn more than arm and knee warmers.

A wet ride in yesterday so I chose the shortest route, which involves mixing it with kids cycling to school and the school run drivers. Approaching a side road on my left which the school traffic turns into, I am going straight on. However, SUV driver pulls out from said side road, but can't clear my lane due to the parked cars opposite the junction. Braking hard I get round the back of the vehicle but only just.

Thence a bit of busy High Street, then fast downhill, then nice separated cycle lanes nearly all the way to work. It's a shame there's no space for the council to put these lanes in on the rest of the route.

I have to drive today and tomorrow then I'm WFH for the rest of the week. May manage a faux-commute.
