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

Fed up

Postby jon avery » Wed Feb 10, 2010 8:10 am

With this wind in the morning :-( i can handle the cold, just put more layers on and ride quicker, but this wind is making me 10mins slower each journey. That's it rant over :(

Hey John you've got to look at your route. The only thing that keeps me going into the headwind in the morning is the thought of that tail wind tonight. Been flying home the last few days albeit a bit on the nippy side.

It will be a different story tomorrow brrrrrrr. :(

You should carefully review your diet to see if you can pinpoint what's causing this wind problem.

Never seems to work like that though does it and you end up with a headwind each way. :(

I'm fed up too!!!!! Fed up of being pregnant, fed up of being constantly sick for 32 weeks, fed up of this bloody chest infection, fed up that have a beautiful cyclo x bike in the garage which is still brand new and unused, fed up of not being able to go cycling with you guys, and fed up of being bloody cold!!!!!!!

So there you go - rant over!!!!!

Lord, haven't you had it yet, Carole??? Must be due soon...

Anyway, think of it this way, by the time you're ready to get out on the bike again, it'll be warmer.... hopefully...

I am Sylv! I'd sooner have the rain than that wind we had last week, obviously i'd rather it be a sunny morning to ride into work in, but hopefully that will be coming soon (won't it?) :?
