I checked weather. Currently gusting from 40mph to 68mph.

Didn't fancy dicing with cars in those winds.

I did. The dicing was with the verge. Local weather station recorded a peak gust of 43mph during the ride. Unless the wind swings the ride home is going to be a blast.

yeahbut this was *constant* of 40mph with gusts of up to 68mph

I had winds like yours on Tues. Going home was indeed a blast - 25mph for one 10mile stretch without getting out of breath.

I have a wrist tendon injury which I am resting.

an extra hour in bed was needed.

Accra traffic. On the plus side it generally doesn't move much but when it does, it's more erratic than an entire convention of Addison Lee drivers. Still I did see one brave cyclist and he did look rather splendidly mad and English.

The drive across north Dublin this morning was horrendous. Shame I'm beyond the hire bike zone, as it would have been much quicker on two wheels. Do hope to give them a try before I leave.

… but thought it a 'good idea' to have a bring-your-cat-into-work-day, rather than leave-your-cat-cooped-up-in-one-room-all-day-so she-doesn't-escape-from-the-safety-of-the-house-while-she-still-continues-to-recuperate-from-surgery-day.

Not such a good idea as it happens. She's continuing to cower in the safety of a corner, from which gentle coaxing from me, and laying her food bowl close to her has come to nought. Gawd.

Oh, and the same calf muscle injury that has plagued my so-called fitness regime (one run on a Saturday) reared it's head this last Saturday near the end of our run. Bollocks.

Upset stomach is continuing. Will risk a ride into town for some more loperamide, but nobody at work would want me to pass this on.

I caught the train this morning because I was worried that 16 miles in my uncushioned bag would destroy my macbook pro.

I could have commuted in today, but its a public holiday

tiermat · « **Reply #440 on:** 16 July, 2013, 08:35:53 am »

I slept in!

I only have tomorrow when I can commute by bike, this week, as I am driving home at lunchtime on Thursday

clarion · « **Reply #441 on:** 16 July, 2013, 09:47:11 am »

I have no valid excuses.

I am working/ sunning myself in Great Yarmouth outer harbour this week. I would have brought the Brommie but I'll be taking the train across to Chester on Friday evening to assist at next weekend's 24hr TT championship. We can't fit 3 people, a racing bike, spare wheels, assorted kit and my Brommie in the car to get home.

Hopefully tonight won't see the police visiting at 3am to remove a rowdy pair of B&B neighbours and I'll get a full night's sleep.

My walking pace was about 2kph. I saw the osteopath (again) yesterday but my back's not really any less painful. Maybe biking is better, I think that loosens it up faster/ less painfully than walking does.

I have to carry home a set of equipment and documents for a meeting tomorrow and I don't think my employer would like me sticking their projector in a pannier.

Team lunch that could have gone big, but didn't.

Don't know which would have been sweatier, cycling or SWT (got one of the ones that doesn't have aircon).

I had to go to Northampton. Tomorrow I have to meet the girls at Pizza Hut, so that'll be car too. Meh.

I've had an annoyingly bad back this week

CommuteTooFar · « **Reply #448 on:** 05 August, 2013, 12:47:45 pm »

Bike 1. (Green Bike) Bottom bracket was creaking alarmingly so I removed cranks but could not remove the bottom bracket which had not been installed twenty years ago. So the bike shop has the bike.
Bike 2. (Orange Bike) Still needs parts before I can rebuild. Come on Chicken's it was order three weeks ago.
Bike 3. (Pink White and Blue Bike) Still in pieces, Will rebuild it after bike 2.
Bike 4. (Red bike) This bike is looked after well and is not used as commuter at least not in bad weather.

So I am catching the train most of this week unless I get really pissed off sitting on the train then red bike will be used regardless of the rain.
