Bikes: Custom (Colin Laing) 531c fast tourer/audax, 1964 Flying Scot Continental, 1995 Cinelli Supercorsa, Holdsworth Mistral single speed, Dahon Speed 6 (folder), Micmo Sirocco and a few more

It started to rain just as I crossed the bridge this morning. Very cold rain too. I stopped and put on a waterproof and my earwarmer.

3 miles to go and I picked up a thorn in the front tyre. First commute of the year and first puncture !!

By the time I changed the tube my hands were filthy, and I'd cooled down so am feeling a bit sore now.

To think I commute because I enjoy it.
