The wimp list ...

Beasty

So who cycled into work today?

and will you be doing it again tomorrow...

... or do you want your name adding to the wimp list?

Couldn't believe the amount of standing water on the roads of Fingal this evening. I was heading into Rush and then came across cars held up in both directions as they tried to find the shallowest route through. Then more floods on the Skerries Road, and turning at Loughshinney the water was flowing off the fields. It's the first time I've found my feet completely covered in water while riding through the floods - luckily there were no hidden potholes.

Hopefully it will have cleared a bit by the morning, and I'll be able to benefit properly from the predicted 40kph Northerly tailwind

I have discovered the ultimate cure for this: flip-flops. Completely waterproof, all you need at the other end of your journey is a towel and you're ready to go!

...I'm not sure if cycling in flip-flops is better or worse than wearing work socks.

Or even SPD sandals.

Warning not nearly clear enough!!!!

How do I unclick?!?!?!?!?

Frere Jacques

Great, just in time for the bank holiday DTs.
WARNING: The warning is not warning you against seeing some bloke wearing speedos and sandels with socks, it is of a seriously mangled foot that is now seared onto the inside of my retina.

Lots of wimps today, bicycle racks were empty as i pulled in soaking, usually no room at all.

Cycled in as usual, no cyclists around on my route, as usual.

Raam

Bike rack as full as it has been all summer at my place. Usually the winter sees it drop off though.

Wishbone Ash

Managed to do 90k but was utterly miserable during it.

Tar.Aldarion

Jeez i was miserable for 5k let alone 90k.

The wimps are out already? The clocks haven't even autumned back yet.

I'm still rocking shorts and a tri top. Like a boss.

Tar.Aldarion

shorts and a tshirt in the rain for me, oh baby I was fresh.

I just need to double check with the other mods if we can ban people for admitting to wearing tri-tops, it. If we can't I need an explanation as to why not as it should be deemed a forbidden topic, uncivil and trolling.

Went with my Aldi €10 superlight rain jacket today. Yeah, it works. Great autumn jacket.

That's the first proper soaking I can recall in like aaaages. It's really refreshing

Inspector Coptoor

Got absolutely soaked on the 9km home this avo.
Had Lidl rain jacket, UA reflective jacket over that & UA tights on.

I don't wear cleats so trainers got soaked.

Tar.Aldarion

soaked again on teh way home...and then wet again on the way to work night out, 3 times in one day haha

It was so nice being dry though....

I presume once you've played it for a few hours you'll be desnsitised to violence and as a consequence you will have hardened he f*** up:)

btw - in my day it was go to college, work a shift in the bar, go out with the lads from the bar to a certain nightclub in a hotel in D4 - Leeson Street - the Northbrook - then finishing at the Manhattan for brekkie - then back to college. Unless it was a Saturday in which case it was the Dockers or Delaney's for an early pint!! If I tried that now I'd die

"up all night after the GTA midnight release"

In the near distant future I'm sure someone will figure out how to hook up the turbo trainer into a video game so you can take part in the action cycling style. Tie it into strava for some difficult segments and everyone will be happy

Is that not what 'Sufferfest' tries to do? Kinda?
And there's a Zombie Run app that plays sound effects of zombies chasing you to provide motivation

Didn't think I'd be adding my name to this in August! :eek:

Looked out the window at 6am and decided to go back to bed for 30 mins and take the car to work.

Listening to the rain pelting down outside at the moment, I may do the same tomorrow morning.

Only thing is that its not cold. The same weather in winter and nobody would be on the bike today

I cycled into work. The little rainstorm over 3km didn't seem too bad compared to near-hypothermia after 115km in the torrential conditions on Saturday.

I did take the lift up from the basement to the first floor though.

Beasty

Not a cat in hells chance today. Had some thoughts about heading in but when I heard the rain the final decision was rapidly made ...

RobFowl

Rain + sore legs from weekend = wimping out today..

Alek

I'm off my bike for a week to relieve some, ekhem, perineal compression issues. To keep myself in shape I decided to run to work instead (no, I can't swim to work, I simply can't swim). Did 10k on Sunday and then 2x3km yesterday.

Woke up today. Legs and other involved muscles in bits. Feckit, rule #5, I'm going.

What's that noise? Looked outside.

Wimped. Did I say I can't swim?

Shame and relief.

Yeah it was the first cold morning for a while but no reason to sign up to the wimp list.

Always amazes me the difference in temp once you go a couple of miles inland or up a bit away from the coast in Dublin. Left house near Dun Laoghaire 10 degrees. Arrived work Santry 6 degrees.

Arrived work Santry 6 degrees.
