Ride to work

Joy of joys, today dawned chilly but bright and promising a better day, so with a commute to Sheffield on the cards it was a case of pulling the bike out of the shed and being brave but not foolish on the greasy roads. Care on the corners and roundabouts and making progress north on the M1 resulted in a good 1hr 10 minute commute time (it is regularly 1 hr 30 mins or more in the car).

Best bit, coming home. The day had stayed dry and bright so the roads were excellent and the return time matched the outbound morning trip - less time on the motorway but same journey time due to the shorter trip. What a great way to commute! All those frustrated car drivers should get out of their boxes and onto 2 wheels, preferably with a V-twin engine.
