Smells on route

[numbnuts]

On my rides I smell mostly farms as in cow,pig poo and fish fertilizer, I pass a couple of pubs cooking food which always smells nice and the very last part of my ride I smell traffic.

When I commute I have to ride past loads of various take away's on my way home. Frankly I hate the smell, the food may taste fine but the smell is vile.

On a similar note it amazes me how many times I smell marijuana emanating from cars as they pass me. Once in a blue moon I could accept, not agree but accept, but it seems to be every time I go out these days!

Being from a rural farming area, I get mostly manure that they spread on the land with gay abandon. I sometimes go past some chicken sheds as well, and the smell is simply awful. The worst incident was when a went past a field where a tractor was spraying something or other. I have no idea what it was, but a lung full of it nearly put an end to me.

I've experienced the dead, rotting badger.

On my urban commute, I also regularly get the unmistakable aroma of a fresh cannabis farm on a certain road.

Most of my commute is pleasant smells not too many cars around first thing in the morning and just sweet smelling hedges etc especially after the regular rain.
However if the jet2 has just taken off or landed(it goes directly overhead and very low)I get a hot blast of burnt aviation fuel.Thats about the only unusual smell.

Depending how the wind's blowing, I can smell Rowntrees all the time in York, which depending on the day is a nice minty smell, or horribly burnt chocolate.

There's an Indian take away I pass on my way home in the evenings, truly gorgeous smell, that I've been riding past for over twelve months. Still never ordered from there though

Yea on the canal towpath I sometimes use there is a sewerage plant and the stench can sometimes get to the back of your throat

Smells en route should be salmon en croute.

Near Woodbridge there used to be a pig farm next to a perfume factory.

Now that i'm reminded of smells, sometimes when i used to go past it the kellogs factory in trafford park can smell odd or bloody amazing.

They'll soon be ready to expand and explode in the heat.

One's still expanding. The other seems to have had a mishap with a car wheel.

Yesterday I was doing my lunchtime 10 mile circuit. Went passed some farm buildings just after a big downpour.
Couldn't work out if it was the cesspit that had overflowed, or they had dumped some human excrement based fertiliser.

At the time I was breathing pretty hard. Nearly vommed on myself as I drew in a meaty mouthful.

I sometimes find myself behind the local dustcart on the way to work. On the way home I go past a couple of chip shops, now I haven't eaten chips since I had my arteries done, but that smell almost draws me in some nights.
