Bike Hub 2019 Commuters Challenge

Skipped the commute today as that South Easter is a killer on the way home. Winds looking more favorable for tomorrow though.

Come on Albatross, the wind will only make you stronger.

I am currently on the road bike as the commuter is getting the spoke replaced, so the wind is quite crazy.

Yup, it does make me stronger, but had some tough rides over the weekend so will give it some welly tomorrow.

I do have some catching up to do .... when you going on holiday again

Hairy, seems our rivalry will continue at the top of the table.

Commuting home into the SE is the highlight of my day sometimes. I see to day is only 30kmh, not enough to get me excited.

Depends which way home is I guess...

I love a good South Easter in the evening ... makes going home so easy!

The punctures you mentioned on twitter or another issue?

Had a bit of a mishap riding around the neighbourhood this past Saturday. No commuting for me for the next three weeks

"into" suggests only one way    Headwind

I'd be paranoid AF stopping there alone in the dark to fix whatever.

 

Wonder how long a GP4000 will last when completely flat, coz there no way i'm stopping.

Elaborate?

It all started with us riding around the block in order for the dog to get a bit of a run. Fiance felt the urge to start racing us (me with one hand on the bars and the other holding the dog's leash + being pulled along by a whippet makes you go nice and fast). Flip flops slipped off the pedals when the gear slipped and I had no way to control the bike riding with one hand! Ended up taking out a sprinkler, baby tree and landing with my face on a stone = bad concussion.

Any GoPro footage of this?

Just joking. Sorry that sounds sore. Heal up soon.
