Sorry for you loss Oatmealboy; you were quite lucky you managed to stay on the bike with that damage.

Today's commute was uneventful and quite pleasant considering the rain that's been falling this week. Weather was in the mid teens (Celsius) with scattered clouds and a gentle breeze. Unfortunately, although the weather is going to stay roughly the same during the next three to four days, the winds are going to pick up to almost gale force (7 on the Beaufort scale, or roughly around 40 miles gusting to around 50), making my commute tiring since I take a route that's by the seaside and susceptible to all winds.
