the amount of insects attracted by my lights, it’s 16th of December FFS and it’s like a summers evening. the little buggers were swarming in the 16 degree temperature. freakishly warm weather

Having to do it in the car.

My office is full of stupid flies. Apparently they are fungus flies. Thy are starting to take the pi$$. One was buzzing around my face. It landed on my nose. I attempted to swat it and ended up punching myself in the face.

will be about a week and a half of double figure temps it’s bonkers when the night time temp in mid December is 10+ (though sunshine has been in very short supply)

Bus was too hot

My commute is ruined! Living in Cockermouth the flood water has gone but many of the bridges remain closed waiting structural inspection. This means my lovely quiet back road commute is re-routed onto a main road with a really nasty junction to cross. In the dark early morning traffic in not taking the risk
Miss that nice quite ride to and from work tho.

The car driver deciding to take my lane to exit Richmond park, while I was entering the park, leaving me clinging to the gate, millimeters away from his car screaming “W******r, W*******r” at him as he sped by.

Falling off on the way home and getting a big patch of road rash on the arse/thigh junction.

The after effects of the Christmas do the previous night.

The commute is fine, it’s getting to work and because it’s December they have to have the bloody heating on. And keep the windows shut.
One bloke still has a jumper on. It’s 25 degrees FFS.

No flies on me!!
Personal hygiene an issue perhaps? 😉

Worst thing about this mornings commute was it ended at the office 🙁

Yeah in the morning the fact it ended at the office, on the way home the fatigue in my legs from the morning and the gym.

Today has been by car (lift from the wife) because it’s party day so I need my bike at home to get in tomorrow – no morning after driving for me!

I swallowed a fly on the ride in this morning. The warm weather has brought the guts out again.

I can’t stay cool enough. I’m commuting in bibs shorts and a short sleeved jersey in December and I’m still having to have a cold shower to cool off when I get here, it’s very weird.

15 deg at 7am this morning. Our heating is set to click on at 18 in the mornings, it hasn’t come on yet.

I’ve reverted to wearing shorts at work now & the summer commuting gear has come out of hibernation

it was lovely and after last nights ride home when a kn0b wound his window down and said, ‘oi dickhead you don’t even pay road tax’, it could only have been a great ride today.

Shorts man shorts!
