The most difficult commute since I started....
All of yesterday evening there were massive thunderstorms in the area causing some minor flooding and major damage from high winds, especially broken tree branches and trash covering the pavement. To add insult to injury, there's a public transport strike in the morning and evening which meant that everyone was out driving causing massive traffic jams and road rage.

My commute is a short one (around 6-7 miles) and with all the above happening and a mean 7-8 Beaufort (39–46 mph gusting to around 55 mph) headwind I arrived at the office panting, my lungs and legs burning and totally exhausted.

Weathers changing again with more thunderstorms and winds picking up again, so I might leave my bike at the office and take a taxi home.
