Excess commute
I was out of the house early today and the weather wasn’t bad (but it was dark, winter approaches), so I thought I’d take advantage of the cyclepath down the side of the guided busway and see how much I could extend my journey to work. I think I got as far as Fen Drayton [...]

What’ve I been up to then… Finally got a few rides in that we more than a commute. A good – wind-assisted – ride via Dry Drayton, the coming down the ramp from the A14 bridge gets some good speed up. A less good – knowingly in to the wind – unknowingly resurfaced – ride [...]

It’s that time of year where you stop doing things and think about what you’re going to do the next year. I have lots of thoughts, probably most of which won’t actually come to fruition. I want to do another cycling holiday, we managed to cover 150 miles in 3-1/2 days this August ( I [...]
