URGGH! Wind (apparently)

[thomas]

I've got a little widget on my desktop with the weather...just by chance glanced at it and noticed the wind symbol. Looked on BBC - apparently 22mph winds in Norwich.

Now if that's a head wind...at best I'll be doing about 2 mph (at times I'll be going backwards) to work...however, the way home would be fun at 42mph on the (reasonably) flat

Snow on Sunday though, so no doubt will fall off when cycling with UNI's Triathlon group B)

Just had a look at the weather record for me the wind was pretty light here (14mph) and was mostly behind me on the way home for a change B)

It's dry though... but a 360 degree head wind..... not the forecasts...it's sods law....

Yes, how does that work, I travel in three directions ont he way home and had a headwind on each !

Discussing the wind with room mates, turned into a discussion on if you attached wings you to your bike/person, at 40 mph could you take off? ANy ideas ?

Yup...Sod's law / Murphy's law...that is the way.......

What I am more worried about is that I've not had a run in with anyone on the bike for a while...tomorrow will no doubt have some youtube uploads as my annoyance free spell will no doubt have run out.

Weekend...so called idiot free riding (driving) .....hmmmmmmmmmm - just a different sought - 'dozy' rather than 'going for it'.........

 

[thomas]

I had something worst than any motorist's driving...the dreaded "p" word.

I got to work, knowing that when I came to leave I would have one as I knew it was slightly deflated...went to leave and it was flat. Had to change the inner tube

Yes, but directional stability could be a problem.

Same here sunbeam, except I'm having to take train and bus since my tendonitis is still heaving. They're OK, but not nearly as much fun as riding.

Completely OT BM, I flipped the tv over to 'Dave' and they were in a region in the USA, I think Portsmouth and a traffic cop was getting all excited about an inline skater on the public highway where he wasn't allowed, 'and he didn't even have a helmet'.
