Tales from today's commute....

[markharry66]

A lovely, bright sunny morning. Though you could feel a chill in the early morning air.
The sun is now quite low, it's that time of the year when one needs to be extra vigilant Of car drivers being blinded by the sun.

I couldn't commute 14-15 miles without a shower available in work, since even when it is cold I tend to get quite sweaty.

What I do miss since we changed office is the tumble dryer the old office had, which meant I could rinse and dry my kit. There is no real kit drying faciality in the new office, we have lockers but they aren't big enough for kit to dry in them, and we aren't allowed to hang kit ourtside the lockers.

You’re right. The prospect upon arrival isn’t great.

I don’t see many here doing what I’d have to mileage / time / remoteness wise. That in itself concerns me somewhat.

Maybe I’ll have to actively choose my days. Even a couple of times a week average would keep the mileage, fitness, enjoyment going…….

Started out dry when I left for the train station at 7am. Started raining as I was on the train and rained all the way into work. Not heavy rain, more heavy drizzle. But wet never the less. Should be dry for the return later.

A lot of other fellow cycle commuters on the route today. Seemed more then usual.

Rainy commute # 29 for the year
Same period last year 18 rainy commutes
