    First day in after the house move and getting up wasnt easy, decent fresh walk down to the station woke me up though. Will have to try cycling in soon which will be fun at 27/28 miles each way.

    Doesnt look like there have been too many emergencies while I've been away at least.

    My old commute was a bit longer and I used to love it. Nice relaxing 45 mins before and after work
    Yeah, right :)

    Nice 👍 2 hours each way for you! What was the length of the old commute?
    The old one was a bit under 1 hour each way: this one will be slightly over 2 hours I reckon. Probably a good choice for a Friday then I can collapse when I get home in the evening...

    So do people not believe TLW averages about 40mph on his bike? You lot are so cynical.

    Correct, but to be fair I didn’t let them know it was on my singlespeed
    Wimp, you should be doing that fixed

    I know, but it’s a mountain bike so already a challenge

    @homers_double not nice. A little bit of pu55y training if he/she’s not too old to learn

    I was up at 4 for WFW (haven’t done that time for a while) is was certainly cold but at least it wasn’t windy or wet. Then my light packed in (LED type) without warning, that’ll teach me to charge ‘em up more often.

    Home now so all’s good. A few things to do then cider later I think :)
  • He's about 7 so old enough to know better. My fault though for locking him in, I thought he'd be OK after being out for a couple of hours but he'd obviously baked that one for a while.

    And I'm also presuming ypu can't use 9 speed Record shifters with 10 speed mechs?

    You can't. That is correct.
    Unless you use a 'shift mate'.
    If you can find one.

    Never mind the wellies, he should really invest in some solid tyres to cruise through post Sloane/son of oligarch party debris without puncturing.

    My mind is blown that the MFs don't know what Obermayers are...

    don't be a lemon, they know what they are, its more of a "what?" than a "what?"

    he's harped on about them enough before.

    just be clear - as in obermayers obermayers, yah?

    would give him something to drive his car over i suppose.

    in the words of Victor Camparnaets:

    "Hunt wheels we are using this year? Well, they're pretty average but at least we don't pay for them and when we break them we don't really care"

    His words, not mine.
