And today, that basket was thankfully carried by Jogblog.
My ride to work was great – very little wind, always behind me. Very nice. Then it got stronger all day and backed just enough to be a headwind for the last 3 miles home – torture. Strange how such a thing can change your view on the thought of cycling to work – through the winter when really cold, dark and windy I fear the cycle won’t really be an option. Hopefully won’t stop me trying occasionally, though. Assuming i’m not thrown off site before then, of course.
Still, once home, dinner was eaten, adverts discussed, washing up done, then a trip to Sainsbury’s was linked into the run, my trusty girlfriend accompanying me on her little Raleigh to allow provisions to be carried in the basket for the trip home. And it only cost the bribe of a Nutrageous bar to pull it off. Bargain.
So, 2.4 miles, the lightest rain shower ever, dinner incorporating home grown spring onions, a lot of weather and tomorrow it all starts over. Only a couple of days and the nights draw in…

Wind can be a killer. When I lived in Cambridge I could not believe how hard it sometimes was to cycle on a flat road.
But count the days when the weather is bad. You will be surprised how often you can commute, even in winter
