Dream commute

A Place to idle the day away talking about anything you fancy. Expect to find cycling and non cycling topics inside

Ditto, even the light were with me a lot of the time. :D
I only saw one other cyclist and he seemed to think we were in a race :roll: . Didn't say hello, fixed stare, etc. I felt like telling him to relax a bit, it's only a ride to work. 8)

Fantastic, wind behind, tailgating a lorry down the A23 at about 35 mph, didn't quite have the puff to stay with him up the slope of the bypass and then got caught at the lights :roll:

Managed to then find another victim. One of those annoying cars that drive between 25-28mph and never seem to go away. Decided to get past him on the Brighton Road just before South End. He then realised he had a cyclist going past him down the bus lane and sped up :D

Even though it was 6.45am I was very warm and I was sweating buckets after that bit of effort. Time to start teaching the body about pain I guess for the upcoming season.

Why? Has the wind been kind and changed direction to push us home. If it hasn`t I wouldn`t say I am looking forward to a 20 mile slog into the wind!! Character building!!! :roll:

[quote="Seanieh_Has3TktsWant1?©"]There were no tail/head wind issues for me ;-)

From my experience that probably means you had a tailwind and didn't realise it, you will on the way home :lol: .

Dream commute for me as well, no hold ups getting into the kitchen- no queue for the expresso machine.

walk to the shed was fine, even with a blood level of 40% proof!

Key fitted first time :wink: , then a nice 2 and a half hour ride, with special K and the TSN crew.

With you all the way there Mr Munnery, though it was nearer four hours for me by the time I got home. Sorry I didn't say good bye, I looked around and you'd vanished!

The traffic was beautfully clear as I hammered down Gatton Bottom at 70km/h!

Did warn you. I fell for that a few times in TTs when I thought I was going well until I approached the turn and saw people suffering coming the other way.
