36 – 52 mph ssw wind in Edinburgh for the ride home from work 😯

If I don’t die, I’m going to get home pretty quickly.

take it easy man!!!!!

Its the horizontal rain that pisses me off

I had a rather interesting cycling home there thru glasgow, the rain nearly took my face off, wind neary chucked me off about 3 times!!

If ever there was a good excuse to cycle on pavements this is it, great fun though! woud have been better if i had the wind at my back mind!

Horizontal woud have been nice! This stuff goes up the way! 😯

Had the same for my cycle back from uni, nearly hit the pavement as a gust of wind came down a junction joining the road I was on (Just passed the Murrayfield Sainsbury’s) Never cycled in so much wind and come in so wet from only riding on the road. Crazy but good fun 😀

On a side note, cleary the ultimate choice in cycling footwear for 2011! works a treat!

Yup, communting today was awful. Got caught in the snow this morning, and then in the heavy rain/wind on the way home. Thankfully i’d struggled in in the headwind but it seemed to changed direction on the way home, some bits i was flying, others i ground to a halt. Riding up my street into the headwind, with a bag full of work and running clothes, 1 litre of milk, and only one chain ring at the front = awful!

It was dry for my run at lunch, and the protest outside work too though.

I went to the gym after work and I don’t know what was harder, that or cycling back. There were a lot of small branches on the road too which my light wasn’t picking out too easy. Good fun.

I discovered why I had an average speed of nearly 20mph on the way to work this morning. It sadly wasn’t cos I’m awesome (TM Surf-Mat), it was cos I had a screaming tailwind.

I found this out when I set off home and found I had a screaming headwind. 🙁

if you do a stupid job, like pushing hundreds of trolleys about in a supermarket carpark, for 9 hrs, against the wind, on a day like this? you don’t need to ride a bike to keep fit.

Cancelled nightride for the East lothian posse tonight 😥
Its wild here!,
been out to recover the wheelie bin 3 times but now its bungied to wall by the down pipes…(awaits gutter and roof removed in next big gust…)

Mrs PixelMix has refused to let me go for my weekly run tonight, presumably on the basis that I might get blown away. Apparently if I went out, she couldn’t guarantee that there would be dinner for me when I got back. As a result, I am now sitting on the sofa with a glass of wine. Glad I went out on the bike last night.

It still isn’t quite as biblical as last night. The simultaneous high winds and huge claps of thunder over Edinburgh were interesting at 11pm.

see i am so desperate to ride i would have gladly gone out in this weather.

*wonders if constultant will shout at him if he goes riding….*
