WAREZ YOR LOITS?!

Heckled by an old lady from her passenger seat, and blow me she was right. Stopped and turned my rear light on.

You get a different class of road rage in Woolwich…

First commute for me since Mid ….. DECEMBER!! Not sure I’ve gone much more than a week before.
Im a sucker for routine, but seeing pot holes appearing overnight, the constant wet/flooded roads and the darkness hiding it all just didn’t have the nerve to bother.

Was very much just like riding a bike from 2025…
Slow AF
Almost hit by the first car overshooting a junction (fast becoming my pet hate)
Windy AF (dont get that on the turbo do you)
Pothole bonanza - few craters out there but its the ruts that seem to catch me.

On a positive at least the light soon broke through and the road was almost dry.

The roads have been wrecked by the weather. I find some of the worst are the where the roads have been previously dug up by utility companies and not replaced properly :face_with_symbols_on_mouth:

I’ve been commuting by bike all the way through, but I haven’t been out for a “proper” weekend bike ride this year.

I’m getting too old to want to go out in the rain on bad roads :man_shrugging:

Challenging wardrobe choices today.

1°C real-feel on the way in, 20°C forecast on the way home.
