A blog about a thirtysomething commuter that just felt the need to write about it. Thursday, 22 August 2013. Tuesday night chain gang.My first one. Jesus wept.I don't think I've ever worked so hard over such a short distance. Imagine a Team Time Trail, only with three individuals, flat out, full on and fierce. It was only the 'short' loop. Oddly but thankfully I got a timely puncture, both the guys pulled back and waited as I fixed the flat, this allowed Dale to explain how to ride in a chain gang and ad...

Raindrops & Rimbrakes: July 2013
http://raindropsandrimbrakes.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
A blog about a thirtysomething commuter that just felt the need to write about it. Sunday, 28 July 2013. Time to write an update. Wow, so year on year I seem to have ridden less and less in the summer months, I mean I still ride but I do like to steal the wife's car if it's too hot. Not this Summer, during the impromptu 'heat wave' I haven't been able to get off my bike, in fact I'm extending my commute everywhere. So much so that I now find myself chasing a 1000 mile month. I will add more on both event...

Raindrops & Rimbrakes: My first commuting week on the SS
http://raindropsandrimbrakes.blogspot.com/2013/06/my-first-commuting-week-on-ss.html
A blog about a thirtysomething commuter that just felt the need to write about it. Friday, 7 June 2013. My first commuting week on the SS. Well, it was intended to be a week.Sadly an infection and recovery of said infection kept it down to just the 2 days of commuting. I got a bloody stitch! I don't think I've ever actually gotten a stitch from cycling before. I assume it's due to the increased cadence and my inability to breath properley when spinning at that pace.

Raindrops & Rimbrakes: May 2014
http://raindropsandrimbrakes.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
A blog about a thirtysomething commuter that just felt the need to write about it. Wednesday, 28 May 2014. It's been a while. (a quick Update). It's been so long since I wrote anything on this blog, feels like an age. I've been meaning to get back to it for a while, with accounts of my commuting and training for my epic bike ride to Barcelona.I really do intend to get this back on track, especially now there is only 9 days to go until the Grand Depart.

Raindrops & Rimbrakes: Route (ish)
http://raindropsandrimbrakes.blogspot.com/2013/06/route-ish.html
A blog about a thirtysomething commuter that just felt the need to write about it. Friday, 7 June 2013. A London to Barca update, 364 days to go! His is the route (ish) :. Http:/ maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms? This is literally a rough route guide, as clearly the stage 8 total of 374 miles is a little inaccurate, there will be 9 stages of our ride so potentially the same mileage split over 2 days.

Raindrops & Rimbrakes: January 2014
http://raindropsandrimbrakes.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
A blog about a thirtysomething commuter that just felt the need to write about it. Tuesday, 21 January 2014. How many times do I have to fall? I've been commuting by bike since I started this blog, actually before that about 3 years. I've never fallen, not once. I've ridden in all conditions, rain, wind, sleet, snow, ice never fallen, until now. Now I've fallen twice in 2 month's. Twice! Funny what a spil does for your confidence. My conering confidence in identical conditions has deteriorated greatl...

Raindrops & Rimbrakes: November 2012
http://raindropsandrimbrakes.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
A blog about a thirtysomething commuter that just felt the need to write about it. Thursday, 1 November 2012. Fear of the Dark. Why is it, when I'm alone and surrounded by darkness my mind thinks 'ow tell you what we haven't thought about in a while, Ghosts.and maybe Zombies'. Through gates in to the darkness (thats the entrance to a gated compound lit ahead). Now I do have a bike light, it works and its actually very bright 300 lumens to be precise, but shit me its dark in that park. The unknown trouble...
