Before I even left I dropped my Fly 6 (version1) on the concrete with a sickening smack. It doesn't turn on now.
It was a beautiful day for a ride.
I stopped to help a bloke whose derailler hanger had broken. I carry a chain breaker in my tool kit, so I offered to turn his bike into a single speed. He was grateful because he still had a way to go, and appointments to keep. He said that he would help me out if I wanted to take kids to the cricket next season. He gave me his card and even I recognized his name as a former international cricketer.
I hurried to work because I was late and discovered that instead of lunch I had a plum puree.
Cheers,
Cameron

I have to get panniers though as using a backpack was not comfortable.
Now I have to survive getting home later today.

chrisR - welcome to commuting. before you consider panniers, have a look at the deuter back packs with the air comfort pro system. that was mesh is sitting on your back with a gap between that and your bag. allowing for a little bit of air flow.

I made it back ok this afternoon in the heat although the butt was getting a bit sore near the finish. According to Strava it was a 21km ride home. It's a bit less in the morning as I take different routes to make it safer overall.
Going to take it easy over the next 2 days and try for another commute ride on Friday, assuming the weather is ok.

My legs felt pretty good this morning, quick but it felt effortless Forgot my gloves though, that's not good.
