CC'ers spotted on the commute...

Yup, that was me, I think we both then headed down the A1301, but I don't like taking the right fork at Anstey Hall.

Tough indeed, was certainly my slowest ride for a while!

Yes, I head down there and then back in over Granham's, relieves the stress of the day nicely. The right turn is a tad tricky, potholes, parked cars, not sure why I do it over the alternative. added to that I nearly got taken out by a lady coming out of Bidwells, anchors on, loud scream, and she didn't even react ....

The whole down and up from Grantchester always feels a lot more tricky than it should be, I'm taking some of the bends ridiculously slowly at the moment, felt the back wheel slipping a few times recently.

I really don't like that bit of road past Bidwells, and the turn onto the main road was a bit tricky, the alternative is slower, short traffic lights, but takes some of the stress out of it. Nearly been taken out a few times at the Granham's turning coming off the bridge, some people just don't look properly.

I'm definitely slower around the turns from Grantchester, I used to take the tight corners at over 20mph, but the combination of rain, mud and leaves has made me a lot more cautious.

I didn't get the chance to review this entire thread, so I apologize if I'm repeating someone, but I had the pleasure of cycling in Amsterdam and loved the experience of lining up with brothers and sisters at red lights, 15+ sometimes. In the five years I've been cycling in the Vancouver area (between Langley and Surrey), I've stacked with only one other CCer, and this occurred only twice. The thing is, though, that we all ride at similar speeds so there would be very little closure with CCers going in the same direction. What funny, when I do drive to work on occasion (not by choice), I get so bloody envious of the CCers I spot! Lucky buggers!

Not often I get to post in here, but I was out stretching my legs this morning and saw @4F on his commute!

 

[I like Skol]

Nearly home this morning in the cold rain when I caught up with @YahudaMoon on the Ashton by-pass. He was fairly shifting as he was late for work but we rode side by side all the way along the roundabouts having a good chinwag
