Tales from today's commute....

I may need to do some bramble butchery soon. The council actually trimmed a load of stuff right back at the end of last year, but it's growing fast. Missed the rain - just. Started 'proper' as I arrived home. Victory !

My rear gear cable broke on the ride home last night (new cable on order). So today's ride was a bit tricky with the chain stuck on the highest gear on the cassette. I ended up using the small chainring most of the time, to make it more rideable!

Good man

While a couple of council cuts per summer is enough to keep the bulk of it at bay, the individual canes grow bloody quickly don't they!?

At this time of year there's always some on every ride that could do with a trim along my main routes... while sometimes I end up off-piste and hitting some that apparently haven't had any attention.

It's quite a satisfying way to decompress / zone out for a bit.

It rained for 10 minutes in Worcester today, the exact 10 minutes it took me to cycle back from the office.

Pleasant change, no near passes

Pleasant change, no near passes

That's all us cyclists ask for.

Nice ride in, passed a colleague but didn't recognise him a mile before work (you can't always be sure and his bike is not distinctive - grey hybrid). Beat me into the bike shelter as he took the back roads, and I got stuck at two set of lights. Apparently the bike shelter is nearly at capacity during the day (not that I notice at 8am and 5pm, as it's empty then). Need to ask for the two/three dumped bikes to be removed.
