At work today I had to put up with the usual put-downs from the "resident roady", about what I was going to be wearing for the journey (What no lycra?), low topspeed (What you need...), My helmet cost me, $XXX and look at that airflow! ie my helmets cost, age and style, blah blah... Surprisingly none of it stopped me getting home from work without the need to call a tow-truck or ride in the peloton!
The ride was uneventful, sun shining light breeze from the East consistently neither a head nor tail wind. The lightness was noticeable to the point of "feeling" the blowby from trucks rolling past on the other side of the road travelling in the opposite direction!
Anyway the wind is expected to reach greater strengths tomorrow and be blowing out of the North West quadrant so the journey home should be at unusually high speeds!! You never know might even average in the 30s. Just need to take the sail to work with me in the morning and it will be a cert!
At the moment it seems to be "just perfect" riding weather.
