    Back on topic.

    XC Weather promised 40mph crosswinds today and I thought better of the commute after last nights experiences.

    Hardly a breath of wind today.

    XC weather promises 40 mph winds for tomorrow.

    I don't know who to believe anymore

    Look out the window in the morning, all the partner before you head home

    The morning leg isn't too bad as traffic is light at 7 am when I ditch the car and start cycling.

    It's the night time leg which is the problem.

    Riding with 60 mph traffic, in the dark, with a crosswind making it impossible to hold any sort of a line was geniuinely scary last night. Especially when HGVs flew past.

    I ended up riding a combination of gravel strewn hard shoulder, pavement and grass verge.

    I think the case for an MTB/CX is becoming irresistable

    Do it!!!!
    Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.
    Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
    Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
    Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.
