Tales from today's commute....

I went with the short commute again today primarily because I wanted back for a group ride but secondly to avoid the mammoth head wind. This is what I had in the morning, if I had got off early I would have had 4.25 times that.

My punishment was a train with AC failure in temps of 25-29deg C.

With the works to the Queensgate roundabout I got off the train to total chaos.

A car driver in front of me as we left the station and turned right proceeded to the inside lane of the Borges Boulevard dual carriageway only to realise they couldn't and immediately pulled into the outside lane which I was crawling into. His first reaction was to angrily shout "What are you doing". I could say the same about him 🙄 but I left him without interaction and left him to enjoy the queue.

The nice thing about the chaos in town the junctions just outside it which are usually grid locked were relatively quiet. The drivers I encountered there too were far more patient 👍

Importantly I got back in time for a quick change of shoes and helmet, put my contact lenses in before jumping on the good bike for the group ride.
