Commuter diaries - spd sandals

I have been wearing Shimano (other brands are available) spd sandals for commuting.

Wrong yet strangely right?

I thought this was commuting?

This morning on a 12 mile commute into a strong head wind another rider sat on my back wheel for 9 miles, don't you just hate that; no offer of taking a turn! For the last 3 miles I really dug in, pushed as big a gear as I could in order to break him, but alas, all of the work I had put it had paid a toll and he sprinted past me just as we reached our destinations. I thought this was commuting, not the last 12 miles of a race or 12 mile TT. Bring it on again tomorrow!     

Riding the Lionheart Sportive...

Sunday I rode the Endura Lionheart Sportive…the route was amazing, 100km of traffic free, picturesque Somerset lanes. Starting in front of Longleat House we rode around the Safari Park before heading out to Fresh Water lake and then onto Kingston Deverill for the 1st food station. The lumpy route continued through breathtaking scenery past the villages of Bruton and Stourton, before finishing again at Longleat.

Dad's new bike - what is it?

 Well it's a trike and he loves buying these kind of crazy things, he'll probably do it up for cycling with the ageing Labrador or something?

Well what is it, can't quite see the head badge, but it's definitely not a spesh, ignoring the stickers!

Commuter diaries - 1st ride of 2011

1st ride of 2011 this morning (due to illness) and I love it, back in the saddle weaving past cars, thinking yes! I am going to ride my SS or fixed around the hills of Avon to get fit again! Lovely... Happy Riding!

Commuter diaries - frozen tash!

 I rode in today with a friend sporting a splendid Movember moustache and it was frozen!
