My final commute of January this morning puts me at 556 miles for the month. 50 of that was a Sportive last weekend, the rest has all been riding to and from work. That's about £100 in diesel costs saved which is nice. No idea how much extra food I've had to buy instead though.
Tried to commute for the first time in 2 weeks today. Got all dressed up and went to the garage to be confronted with a flat rear tyre. After a minor tantrum I fixed that and got going. Two miles in the tyre started deflating again. Couldn't be arsed fixing that one in the sleet so turned round and went home. I'll try again next week.
Liking those photos Ton.
Commuting in London has been fine, cold, and abit icy further out, but not snow like further North. Kind of miss that in an odd way.
But then Regents Park is nice:

Commute of the year for me as I high fived a pedestrian trying to hail a bus in the cycle lane.
It's been a tricky week for commuting, plenty of snow and ice around meaning I've had to stay off my usual back road commute and stick to the main roads.
Worth the effort though when I hear people saying it took them hours to get home in their cars because there was a bit of snow around 🙂
Nice this morning, -2, crisp and clear, and noticeably lighter. Week ahead looks the same, going for the full house this week, ride in the full five.
