Did you see that RWGPS now has a function called "Collections"?

Still commuting as apparently I'm a key worker . Morning commutes are lovely and quiet . However my afternoon return leg is now being spoilt by the fact I keep getting overtaken by all the weekend warriors out doing there daily exercise while their not at work .

Summer was nice this year, hope you all made the most of it?
Service as normal tonight, chilly, windy and a hint of rain.
Roads still really quiet but some tit in an Audi hatchback managed to scare me with a fast, close pass carried out on an otherwise empty road! Fekwit

Seen a couple of riders with flat or barely inflated tyres recently and thought how could they bare to keep going, but no tyre at all takes the prize

When will spring get here? 15cm of snow 2 days ago then -34C (with wind chill) this morning.
Every other day I'm doing a 19 mile loop starting out at about 6:45 a.m. then back to work from home (half my job involves lab work so I've got mostly tedious admin to do at home). Almost no-one about on the lanes, occasional jogger. Saw a buzzard on Monday, a deer this morning. It was colder than I expected today, haven't been that cold during this winter, hands went numb (it was only around freezing, I was just a bit underdressed). Might do a longer one on Friday, no-one seems to Skype me before 8:30.

Well the NCN55 is still heaving with kids and families, I guess they are really taking this virus seriously going off the information poster ripped from the fence and dumped 😡

Bit of a shock this morning with -2°C showing on the garden thermometer at 6am and it felt even colder out in the open areas.

Treated myself to using the 'best' bike for today's commute and put a bit of effort into it. The result for the round trip - an average of 17.4mph over the 28 miles. Possibly my best ever and I'm loving the quiet main roads, but it's like a slalom course giving all the walkers & other cyclist an extra wide berth on the back roads!

I decided to start at 7am instead of my usual 5am or 6am. I extended my 20km to 25km as it was so nice this morning. I started off with an almost full moon which led on to a wonderful dawn and now it is bright sunshine and 18 degrees.
Probably the best commute of the year, so far.

4.30am. Summer gloves..... freezing hands.
Around freezing when I go to work and 16 degrees when I go home. I need summer and winter kit on the same day. 🙄🇩🇰

Well I never thought I would be saying this but my return commutes are going to be back in the roads because they are safer and less congested than the shared paths along the NCN55 and guided busway to Tyldesley !
Lockdown means “ extended holiday” to the most of the clowns on those routes with large groups blundering along and not giving a toss how serious this virus is ! Mornings are still good because they will no doubt be still in bed whilst I go to work !
Stay safe everyone

Seems to me that avoiding CV19 means avoiding any no directional off road cycle route in or close to an urban area. In any case om most you cannot get 2m away from someone going the other way.
