A few bits
I bought one of those little £25 clip-on cameras last week with the intention of mounting it to the bike somewhere. I didn’t expect to get any exciting videos from it, but there might be something interesting and it’s only £25. It seems to have a very slow charge, and very high discharge rate though. [...]

OK, pardon the swearing but it really felt like it today. I think I counted seven, in an 8 mile journey! Here they are (just getting this off my chest): Cock 1: Pulled out in front of me from a side road on the right while I was on the Science Park ring road, forcing [...]

It’s not the first time it’s happened, and it seems a popular spot for it (here). As I came home from work on Thursday, through Waterbeach, I was passed by a car that then slowed down as it entered the built up area. This meant I could fairly easily keep up with it, but was [...]

I’ll admit I’m a road cyclist (even if my bike isn’t quite), but I have been off road on occasion. I can quite honestly say though, the most arse-battering surface I can remember riding my bike on is the red-tarmaced cycle lane on Kings Hedges Road in Cambridge. It’s the one on the outside of [...]

I’ve let more than a week go by again. Saturday last it looked like rain in the afternoon, so I extended the return journey from the papershop in the morning. This seems a good way to get a ride in and I’ll try and do it more often. I managed to come home from Milton [...]

Last night I had 77km left to meet this weeks Garmin Connect goal. I normally do 22km to get the newspaper on a Saturday morning, and I expect to do 52km tomorrow with the other half (she’s only rowing once), which would leave me an annoying 3km short of the goal. The easiest seeming thing [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )This weeks’ bad drivers (and bike riders)
This week, commuting to work, I’ve had 2 and a half bad drivers. Including one near miss. The first one and a half were on Wednesday morning in Waterbeach. There are normally two rows of parked cars along the road between Waterbeach station and the church (I think they are the unofficial ‘park and ride’). [...]

After yesterday I had 25km left to make the weekly Garmin Connect goal. I was however knackered this morning. Partly, possibly, for a moderate length of ride. Partly from the other half having a boat race to get to and being up at 4:00am this morning. It rained buckets overnight, and was very windy still when I [...]

I did a more or less tuned to meeting the weeks Garmin Connect goal ride last Sunday (route here). Originally I’d intended to use the perimeter road of an old airbase that I’d spotted on a map as a circuit to do some laps, but when I got there it was a private road so I [...]

I often ride too hard. My Garmin tells me I’m in zone 4, or even zone 5, a lot of the time. So, so far this week I’ve been trying to stay below zone 4 (only commuting until the weekend). Monday and Tuesday I tried to do it by just watching the display, and both days overshot [...]
