Tales from today's commute....

Still morning, and low traffic for a school day. Easy ride makes me think it might be possible to do a 'no-touching' ride even on the SS - it's less suited to the off-road section I usually ride, so I take my road loop, with an extra half-dozen lights, but I can track stand it a bit.

I hear you about the low sun. A few years ago, I came across two cyclists, on different days, knocked off at the same point by cars pulling out of side roads. The sun, in both cases, was low and behind the cyclists, and the drivers just didn't look properly. This is the time where lights can help a bit (unless the driver doesn't look).

Dug out the arm-warmers this morning, and a lightweight gilet as it was around 10 degrees, and will be 20 or so on the way home. Lovely ride, I avoided the busy, narrow-laned A38 and rode an extra mile or two along quiet-ish country lanes instead. Changing the route did build in a stiff climb near the end of the ride but that was fine. I can't recall any chumps to report which was nice, too.

Status Quo's Blue for You deluxe edition on the tunes was great.

Dug out the arm-warmers this morning,

Which ones have you got mate? I was thinking to get some.

Slightly nippy in the morning, but will be comfortable temp on the way back. Arm-warmer weather.
