Easy riding

Rode in this morning and it was actually quite pleasant. I was half tempted to go the long way in, but due to time plugged it straight down the dual carriageway as usual. It's rained a bit since I got in, but hopefully it will all clear up again before it's time to ride home..

It was raining this morning..

..another diesel day. Nice ride though as the wind had dropped, by the time I got to work I wasn't actually that wet either..

Dead legs..

Uneventful ride home last night, just in time to nip up north of cardiff for a nice ride up the Garth and a few pints in the Gwaelod. Excellent. Legs really felt dead this morning though, commuting everyday and riding in the evening is a bit much..

One more day to go and I get a whole day off the bike. I'm ashamed to admit I'm kinda looking forward to a rest.

A tailwind!

So for once, last night's ride home was assisted by a tailwind. The same wind was in my face on the way in this morning, so hopefully I'll get an easy ride home again..

The legs are feeling a bit leaden already this week and I have 7 more commutes and once nightride to go. I think they'll perk up a bit though, the first couple of days in a row are always the worst..

Headwinds

Predictable, just what you don't want on a monday morning..a strong headwind all the way. I hope this isn't setting the mood for the week as I think I'm going to be riding in everyday. (Amy is taking the car down to Devon..) Oh well, it makes me stronger.

Snow!

It snowed on me on the way in today.. Icy stuff though, not nice and fluffy. It really hurt when it got in my eyes..
On another note check out this quiz Cycling skills test . I got 8/9..not bad.. :-)

One and a half rides..

Rode home yesterday (the second half of Tuesdays ride) and did a nice 5 pint/20 mile loop offroad in the evening..
Rode in and back today too, all fairly uneventful except for a massive bird of pray swooping out of the bushes near Castleton this morning and flying alongside me for a few seconds..It was pretty impressive.

Looks like I'm riding in tomorrow to as the car is still not fixed, oh well. At least I'm getting my legs back..

One way trip

Rode in this morning (just mmissing the rain) but am being picked up by the better half to nip off for a meal in Bristol. Not sure what is going to happen to the bike, think I'll leave it at work...

Sodding wind

Rode in and back yesterday. Fairly uneventful apart from an absolute sod of a headwind on the way home.. Still, I managed to overtake an Aston Martin, so it wasn't all bad ;-)

Rode north of Cardiff wednesday evening so my legs were a bit dead, but not too bad overall.
