A nice ride to work

Due to withdrawal sypmtoms [ I haven't been on the bike since Saturday morning grin.gifgrin.gif ] , I felt compelled to ride into work this morning , taking a somewhat convaluted route [ otherwise known as round and about ] .... the sun was shining , a light breeze was keeping me cool ............. here are some snaps .........

 

We had some rain last night .............

The roads around here have some curves .........

You have to keep your wits about you , as many of the corners are blind , with no run off area ..........

A pause for reflection ...............

Simply beautiful scenery. If I had that kind of scenery on my way to work I'd have to call in sick a lot more often!

Can't have the bike without the funds provided by going to work ....a neccesary evil as they say !!

You are more dedicated than I am, there is no way I could have gone to work after that ride I would have just kept going. Great pictures someday I hope to ride there.

Merry Old England never looked better. Keep sending us these wonderful pictures. We colonialists need to be reminded of our roots.
