Morning crétins de l'Himalaya

Chores and not a lot else.

Likewise. At least it was daylight on the way in as well.seanoconn said:Enjoyable pedal in. Will be dodging showers on the way home.

Lovely weather. Looking a little bit shitty now though. At least I'm prepared this time.Sometimes. Maybe. Possibly.

For reference, the pfft, is a sound of disapproval, not a homosexual insult.Pinno, מלך אידיוט וחרא מכונאי0

Was the "you're going soft" the homosexual insult?seanoconn said:For reference, the pfft, is a sound of disapproval, not a homosexual insult.

Afternoon folks,
I also had a fairly pleasant wobble in and will be hoping to dodge showers on the way home. Not sure what this prepared business is, does expecting to get wet count as being prepared? I am soft, no 'going' about it.
Just walked to Sainsbury's to stock up on lunches for the week, got there and realised my wallet was in my cycling jersey by my desk. Google pay is great for senile old duffers.
Less drinking scheduled for this week, should send people a message then...

Prepared in this instance means - waterproof winter cycling boots and a waterproof jacket. Yeah, I'm not one to just 'grin and bear it' anymore.

I don't like full waterproofs, at just over 5 miles a windproof is enough usually. Overshoes live under my desk just in case.photonic69 said:Prepared in this instance means - waterproof winter cycling boots and a waterproof jacket. Yeah, I'm not one to just 'grin and bear it' anymore.
I'm not riding if there's a risk of ice this winter, I think I was limping for 3 months after my off in January. Or do I buy 26" spiked tyres for the old MTB?0 -
Afternoon
Mondays chores completed. Smarty cats picked up from the vets, it’s not cheap keeping these animals going.
Did a bit of climbing followed by some weights, now seems to getting dark already.0 -
Dodged the rain, although I did feel a few drops. Thankfully also dodged the box van that turned left whilst I was alongside his back wheel. I may have screamed an expletive loudly enough to make him stop.0

I never undertake/go on the inside of any vehicles any more. I just pass on the outside and keep my eyes on indicators and possible roads off to the right.veronese68 said:Dodged the rain, although I did feel a few drops.

I undertake, overtake and generally make as much of a nuisance of myself as I can. Reactions of a cat 🐈⬛photonic69 said:

Me neither but when they overtake you then start turning left before they've got past there's not much else you can do.photonic69 said:

Not that I was going to, but glad I didn't ride in. Roads flooded in several places on the way home, eventualy had to abandon and go back another way which was also flooded but passable.
Car is not happy, EML is now on, although it made it home OK.
It only rained for an hour, and it was only normay heavy.0 -

I ride like a cnut in traffic. Dunno what triggers it. Now that there is a 20 mph limit in town and a high street that goes downhill (in the right direction), I pass them all, all all all all*. Fcukers.seanoconn said:

*Pity you can't twiddle with the font size anymore.
There is this hill and at the bottom of the hill, I can turn left and on to a road with a gazzillion speed bumps. The first 3 I can go over without braking and then I turn left anyway.
With a tail wind, I can hit 30+ but you get these drivers who have to get passed you. They have to. It's imperative. If they do (I ride in the middle of the road), they will often turn left (as that is the way into the town centre), they have to slow to less than 10mph.
Annoys the frikkin lycra off me as I have to brake hard because there is rarely room for me to overtake. Spoils my speed bump fun.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
