it's dubai dawn out there

glad i don't have to work on one of the construction sites here, those guys have a long tough day, at it since before dawn, still going when night falls, must be brutal in the summer

time for a last brekkie here, hope there's pineapple at the buffet

    Should have got up and gone for a ride today as its bright and sunny, however the plan was to go out later but it now looks like the rain is in its way.

    No pig based breakfast?

    Need food as I'm hungry, even though I did a 5 mile commute

    Later is boring as the current wife is out with work

    Morning folks,
    Bit chilly out, took a while to warm up as I pedalled in. Very pretty in the park with the sun shining though. Batch of emails that came in overnight have all been dealt with, now I can relax for a bit until the more local customers wake up.
    Later is pub and a Thai meal, 2 cups of tea and some ginger nuts have helped get me going. Should probably go and change.
    Onwards and upwards...

    Appropriately I was wearing my gabba this morning... chill in the air, but it doesn't feel as cold as the thermometer says it is... it is the usual dilemma of whether temperature is a good indicator to measure heat, or we should really be looking at a way to measure enthalpy instead...

    Find something that gives a "feels like".
    Warmer in the sun, colder in the wind. A sunny windy day must confuse things though. I find it helps anyway.......
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Made me laugh at how unsuitably dressed most people were as I rode in this morning. Lots of rattly hybrids being ridden by people in full Scott of the Antarctic gear, a couple of people in shorts that looked understandably miserable and one idiot with no gloves blowing into his hands to try and defrost them. As Ugo says it didn't feel too cold once I'd got going, decent gloves and a buff make a lot of difference though.

    Full bibs, scull cap, winter glover and my trusty assos air jacket this morning, Brrrrr.

    If I'd got out of bed it'd have been full tights, overshoes, windstopper jacket & gloves, merino base layer and a buff under the helmet.

    You know, just to keep it squeaky clean...

    Isn't an Assos air jacket a little OTT for a 1 mile commute?

    Me doing paperwork me. Bollox.

    Time to pick up Toots 2 from nursery.

    Lightweight :)

    It was the train for me this morning. Just finished stuffing my face and thinking about how to spend ill gotten gains before heading off early for a school prize giving. Yawn.

    I was perfectly dressed as I left at 7, less so as I arrived at work! must remember to work on my edible arm wamer idea, you could eat a layer away as the temperature increases!

    I am currently trying to justify the price of dura ace over Ultegra or if i could go for a mix and match of the two. hmmmmmm..... possibly not a problem up there with third world hunger or the junior doctor's contracts but everything is relative!

    Not a problem, I cycled to work today so it's not on my desk. :P
    Had to laugh the other morning, as I was leaving for work one of my neighbours was looking for his car but couldn't see it. There are so many black soft roaders around there he couldn't see which one was his.

    My commute is twice as long so every other day will have me put in the same miles as you :wink:

    You mean a pic of Sungod's moobs isn't good enough for you?
