Racing Start

 With weather as good as this its rude not to ride to work. This is my warm up, a slow jog pushing racing steed along wheel breaking dirt track (very slow considering current blisters).

 Views aplenty. The sky is blue, the sun is shining, the birds are singing in the trees.

 This is where our world meets the real world

 a quick blast down this track and we are on a main A road. GPS is switched on here its not a race but now and then I like to push a bit harder to try and do the 5 miles a bit quicker. Not today though, this is a recovery ride and anyway the weathers too good to rush.

Traffic lights. Took this picture to show how much work is taking place. The lights failed to recognise me as a road user so stayed red until a big quarry lorry appeared behind me. The driver expected me to wave him through first. He didn't expect a fat bloke on a bike to get off to a racing start and maintain over 30mph for nearly a minute. The power of lycra.
