Welp, I was geared up to do my first commute on my shiny new road bike tomorrow, and I've just hacked the criminy whatsits out of the base of my thumb cooking dinner. So, yeah, not looking too positive. Respect the Global knives, people, never ever get complacent with them ... :roll:

Not riding tomorrow because I'm taking my year 1 and year 5 children to the first day of school for the year. Year 5er will still ride while I take his very heavy bag in the car - he has a new bike so is dying to ride to school as usual. I'm hoping I'll still get in my 2 commutes this week -it's forecast showers for some of the week so we shall see.

Last 5 weeks without any commuting. Or riding for that matter :(

Had some hardware removed from shoulder and my bicep tendon moved and it needs time to heal.

Slowly going insane from not riding to work.

Could time on a stationary trainer in upright position be a sanity saver ?

Well it does explain Norbs :mrgreen:

I had to drop my wife off this morning, so no commuting for me - I think that makes it twice this year that I have missed a day.
I was going to buy a fast, stylish bike, but I looked in the mirror & thought "you're not fooling anyone, you know"
