Great ride home this afternoon, took a longer route as the weather was so good.
Over the Avonmouth bridge, under the Clifton Suspension Bridge & then past the SS Great Britain thru the bustling Harbourside then up the Bristol/Bath cycle track
28kms in total & possibly 95% of it on cycle paths

What on earth is going on..? The traffic tonight, what there was of it, was so much better behaved tonight than this morning, almost had tears of joy in my eyes, or was it just the sweat? 
(note: it was the sweat, I ain't 
)
Grey and miserable sky, but very very warm.
Air Con panel was locked at work this morning with all the units off, so everyone was getting rather warm, so I had to save the day by bypassing the lock to get the cold air running, my manager got me a hot chocolate as a thanks
(I know, I should have made them sweat longer and squeezed some money out of them 
).
Strange thing happened on the way home, a chap in a white van coming the other way gave me a toot and a wave (friendly, I think), but I have no idea who it was and I didn't have time to return the wave as I was knackered (no traffic behind me either
).
So, if you are on here and it was you

Quite often see road kill on my early morning commute in the countryside, usually rabbits but never a pleasant sight.
But today a little worse than normal as it was a deer.
This morning, we saw what appeared to be two rabbits on the road, then realised that it was once one rabbit - must have been hit pretty hard....

I see a few dead foxes on the roads around Epping on my way to work

Lovely weather for the commute this morning, but my legs were having none of it, so I had a tootle into work at around an avg speed of 13mph.
I shall probably tootle again tonight and give it the beans tommorrow.

My normal road kill fodder are rabbits, pigeons/collared doves & badgers. The worst are badgers, it's not the sight as they're usually fully intact, it's the SMELL!Quite often see road kill on my early morning commute in the countryside, usually rabbits but never a pleasant sight.

Cut the lawns last night before the rain came this morning, paid for it after, really bad allergy attack, my hay fevers still bad now. Everyone one wills summer time round, but it can be a nightmare for others, mine seems to be bad June and July. I'll be glad when it passes. Made for a low paced spinning commute in this morning.

I recently saw a Barn Owl, always make me rather sad

Several dead little bunnies, and a badger that has been steadily decomposing since Tuesday :-(

A recovery commute with no dead animals on route 
I didn't quite get the recovery bit right; did for the first 2 miles in the right wrong direction then I met a colleague going in the wrong right direction so I upped the pace to ensure my longer commute got me to work first . When I took the gilet of I was a little damp underneath

Not a commute but did see a deer lying in the road this morning. Thought about stopping to move it off the road but I'm not even sure I could lift an adult deer? A BMW parked up off the road a bit further on with a stoved in front end.

The only deer I've seen was last night and fortunately alive and that wasn't a commute either
