Pollution, seriously?

Posted on Apr 2, 2014 by

12C, no wind, and… forecast– strong pollution, European emissions, Saharan dust and we’re warned not to exercise outside. So I should drive? But cars emit pollution. After last night’s ride, I intended to drive anyway. At least I know why … Continue reading →

No Sunday ride.

Posted on Mar 23, 2014 by

9C,hail, sun and showers. No ride today- so I filled in a job application, chopped wood and fixed up the summer racing bike. It’s not right though, the local bike shop put new bearings and free-hub, but it feels wrong. … Continue reading →

Absurdly wet

Back to back.

Posted on Jan 11, 2013 by

7°C, sunshine. The Doc says I probably have a second cold straight after the first. Unlucky, but not a serious worry. Presumably, there is no reason that you couldn’t be infected with two colds at once. Snow is on its … Continue reading →

At night it does rain.

9ºC, rain No ride to work, the fault lies with a sore throat not the weather. The rain prefers to fall mostly in the dark this week. Darkness is much longer lasting this month. No  daylight until 7.44 and it’s … Continue reading →

hay fever

Posted on Jun 19, 2012 by

18°C, light westerly. Pollen Tuesday is pollen day. It’s coming off the grass flowers like talcum powder. My reaction is to itch & sneeze. The itching is getting so bad that I want the ability to reach inside my head … Continue reading →

Erroneous weather
