Left in reasonable time after another not-great-night's sleep. Chilly but clear and bright, a nice morning spoilt somewhat by few bellends on the roads and innattentive muppets on the tow paths.. along with a bit of flooding.
Only took half a mile into the ride before I was smiling; heading into the glorious sun with an appropriate Boards of Canada soundtrack.
Stopped on the way for sausages and photos; the latter being nowt special especially compositionally due to aspects of the phone that are too boring to recount. Got to work a bit late but nobody cares; cold extremities mean the low-carb ideal has gone out the window and I've just smashed a packet of crisps..
Half term week so I could probably have taken the car all the way (and will have to later in the week) however was very happy with the usual bike bit today
I had to wait for the car to defrost / demist after getting drenched last week and no doubt transferring some of that damp inside, so had a little clean and tidy of the boot while I waited..
The A34 from the tow path - appeared to be moving OK this morning; probably due to the lack of school traffic.
Whatever gash they're building this time at the north end of the city.. composition is especially crap as any further left would have exposed me to the sun.
Covered market, complete with sausages in high-vis safety bag, tucked inside the rolled top of the Borough bag. I think I'll call this facility the "sausage wallet"
Flooding on the sports ground behind the Abingdon Rd.
Disaster for someone on the river..
