Wherever I lay my bike, that's my home ...
I had an enjoyable start to the week today. I had a free morning to explore the local area around my new construction site while waiting for the first major delivery – the site cabins. Over the weekend I had discovered Strava and its addictive competitiveness and so this morning I embarked on a 38 mile tour of all the Strava segments between home and my new workplace. This involved a few steep hills and also a couple of longer flat stretches.
A hilly start to the week
It was good to be using the bike again as transport, although the delivery driver in his huge lorry was slightly bemused when I spotted him waiting a few hundred metres up the road and cycled over to tell him to follow me to the site. After a few jokes about the recession having bitten the company car scheme he proceeded to tell me about his cycling accomplishments in former glory days. Tomorrow I will have to borrow my wife’s car to move all of my equipment to site but I’m hoping to limit my car miles and get into the cycle-commuting from then on.
My new route to work
realy like the bike – who needs a home when you have a bike like that
Haha. Yes it felt great to get out on the Fuji. The weather was great and it was crying out to be ridden. Back on the heavy Carrera in the rain today 😦
