Dirty Wet Monday Morning

Mr Sheen!

Horrible ole morning for commuting into town. I was warm and dry though And the traffic was worse than usual with the weather.:pac: I love my bike haha

Be safe out there in that weather. Cars tend to be even more dangerous when the driver is frustrated and late for work!!

I took the bike into work today aswell,

Usually go in the car pool but felt like a spin before work!
Naas to Tallagh so wasnt to bad

Some prick tried to take me out of it tho.

I commute daily but only on bikes about 4 months so it will be my first winter

I hear you, wasn't entirely fun driving to work this morning as I don't have proper water-proof boots or pullover pants, but it worked fine enough.

as if Mondays werent hard enough as it was!

really need new bottoms - have a pair of Buffalo 'waterproofs' but they're anything but... I'd say they pass rainwater as easily as jeans tbh, so currently having to change in work after a stint in the pissings

I'd be down to the shop to get a separate set of waterproofs for that trip, if you don't have them already. And some latex gloves for under the normal's. Its going to be a wet trip.

Two pieces of advise,

Lots of layers, with wind protection.
Heated grips and good winter gloves.

If you are cold, your response time drops like a stone and you will become fatigued quickly.

Bike fatality on the M1 yesterday.
Motorbike smacked into the central crash barrier on the M1.

RIP and thought with the family of the dead rider.


Met Eireann and also the UK Met Offce have issued severe weather warnings for Today,Tomorrow and Wednesday with severe gusts of wind and up to 60mm of rainfall too.



Be carefull out there and be safe too.

Thanks, the hot grips idea came into me head yesterday as I seen a fella with them on a spin. Been looking into them today so Im sure I will have a set soon enough.
