Today's Bike Ride

[Graham Breeze]

I've been doing 2-3 rides into work recently, having to cross Leeds to get there and back. It's crap. I refuse to use the atrociously unsafe cycle lane on Kirkstall Rd near Woodrup, and as yet haven't been harrassed by anyone. I'm glad the law now allows us to refuse to use them.

Ha! I shall be visiting Woodrup on Tuesday because my summer bike needs some TLC. This involved me spending several hours today cleaning said machine, wheels off, degreasing the drive train, etc. One wouldn't want the mechanics to think I don't care.

I spent so long on this I didn't have much time to go for a ride. Obviously I couldn't now go on the newly cleaned bike so 21 miles (1000 feet) on the winter bike.

But B**nch* or Boardman - the miles all count.
