Lies, Damned Lies and Children's Stories.

I really should learn not to give myself deadlines, shouldn't I?

OK, so Timber isn't here yet to share with y'all, so have a quick blog about my day instead. I haven't been out on my bike in a while, so figured it was about time to get some practice in.

I figured it would be nice to find a route to work, and at least do part of that journey to see how it goes. The rough course can be found here. Those of you who know where I live and work will realise there is a bit missing of the start, and a sizeable bit from the end. The route takes me about midway to work (Stockbridge) and there is about two miles missing from the start, so the route I did today was seven miles.

It took me an hour and a half. That's not very good, is it?

It was as muddy as sin, and a hard slog the whole way. Damned nice scenery to look at though, and much more entertaining that a normal drive. I just wish I didn't get a puncture on the way back. Bah!

A three hour commute, assuming that I am correct in saying that it is midway in traveling time, really isn't a very good idea. Maybe I'll have to find another way, and one that isn't so muddy in winter. Good fun though!
