Tales from today's commute....

[Arjimlad]

A fun ride in today, apart from a close pass which made me shout. I was riding down the A38 where the road width is restricted by central reservations when there was a toot from behind.

Looking around a cheery bunch of lads in a low loader Transit were having a laugh so I smiled & waved as I took primary just in case. They tooted a couple of times more and then passed me when it was safe to do so. Catching them up at the lights they were all laughing at the driver who was hiding his face, which gave me a good laugh too.

They must have clocked the Passpixi so I will check the rear camera for any antics.

I usually do 10 miles, but that's less direct - I have 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, or 20 mile routes I take depending on the time available/weather etc.

That's a nice range of available routes. I've only got 2 sensible options everything else I do feels like a significant extension just because I want to ride further rather than 'just' a commute ride.

Survived intact and puncture free despite more cars than I've ever seen before (I must have filtered past about a hundred in all), two sets of temporary traffic lights, newly trimmed hedge clippings all over the road, road closure due to a sinkhole, newly (9 months ago) resurfaced road disintegrating into potholes, cold, dark, drizzle and a painful knee.

Much better than the driver would have been!
