In: Wavertree, Old Swan the Ring Road to Walton, Breeze Hill, Bootle, then into Liverpool on Derby Road and The Strand (9.8 miles)
I have the luxury of setting my own hours so mostly I miss the commuter traffic: good for less cars, bad for fewer cyclists to see. If I have to get in for 9am there is a white Giant SCR2 that whizzes past me, but I'm sure he's got fresh legs.
Out: Central Liverpool, University, Edge Hill, Wavertree (3.4 miles)
Coming home I get to see a lot of Student-types on MTBs jumping lights or pavement riding.
Will be extending my morning ride in the next week going out to Aintree, Thronton, Crosby and then in on the same route. Also planning a new route south from Wavertree to Childwall, Netherly, Halewood and then back in via Speke, Garston Otterspool. But I need t ocheck one or two roads for suitability/maintenance
