Here for rides.
By way of experiment I decided to ride in secondary the whole way in. Not an experiment I will repeat.
In that case mine will add 5I can even claim my first FCN points of the year, my hairy legs add two points to my FCN![]()

As always the wide angle lens makes things look further away than they really are, luckily I have good well maintained brakes.

All for nothing as they ended up stuck at the set of traffic lights just ahead where I was able to tell the driver how good their driving was![]()
You've lived the Wiggle advertRiding through a quiet residential road, there's a little boy on a balance bike on the pavement with his grandparents. His granddad is ahead of him cheering him on, and the boy's riding as quick as he can. The granddad points at me and shouts to the kid, "look, you're as quick as that man on his big bike".
So I get out of the saddle and ride like I'm sprinting flat out (although I've shifted to my lowest gear so I'm barely moving). The boy goes faster and faster, checking over is shoulder to see if he's still ahead of me. He wins the race to his granddad, I start clapping and tell him "you're too quick for me!", and he has a massive grin on his face.
Best. Commute. Ever.
If I did 300 miles in a week the Mrs would serve the divorce papers, and I'd be on my knees.Another commute record - did 45 miles this morning. Done just over 300 miles commuting this week, I might make my first ever 400 mile week by Sunday.
Weather was much cooler first thing this morning but was very warm by the end of the ride.
This is why all proper commuters have a mirrorNearly took out a nobber on a bike. Yup, full gear, just turned right as I was overtaking him. Look or indeed signal before turning please !
