Commuter diaries - ring road path

Last night I rode part of the Bristol ring road cycle path expecting it to be nothing more than a series of sections through housing estates and parallel to major roads continually cut by traffic lights and bollards... to be fair, there was quite a lot of that, but I have to say, I really enjoyed the ride and the variety it offered. Perhaps it was because I was cycling to a specific destination, or the fact I had my SS bike, thrashing through different areas or perhaps it was the variety of sights, street art and people I saw, I just can't put my finger on it!
Perhaps I was just glad to be out after a lazy weekend and traffic free riding is something we should all celebrate!
Still thinking...

To add to the comedic potential, I really hope said chef was dressed in whites, including a toque blanche, and armed with a whisk and cleaver.
