Confused...

So, the confused goose that's been hanging out with the swans was even more confused today.... it was being humped by a swan and it all looked a bit awkward...... [made me laugh though]

Blocks of ice

Great to be cycling in the light again (morning).
Plenty of wildlife sights, mating ducks, mating swans, mating blackbirds ... everything was mating!
Bloody cold though. Some of the ice didn't break too well and by the time I got to work the ice and mud had gunked up my gears and my feet and lower limbs were caked in ice.
Brrrrrrrrrrrr

This YouTube video shows part of AntonDeBike's route.
Got to get me one of these cameras.

Thanks to "shuarz"

That'll do..

Right then... it's a tough ride in on the towpath at the momemt so i need to change my Twitter avatar. Watch this space.

Quietly getting on with it...

Nearly at 1,500 miles.
Bloody cold but nice and muddy :)

Riding Home

Did I say I'd started riding home on the road?
a) taking too long on the longer, darker, muddy towpath
b) less likely someone'll jump me in the dark

This road biking is giving me all sorts of new conundrums though with fellow cyclists..
To overtake / not overtake? Say hello / ignore?

..and then how aggressive should I be with crappy drivers? Driving too close always gets a shout and a wave. Cars sitting in MY cycle lane definitely get a "what are you doing you muppet" shrug of the shoulders and turning left across me.?  that's going to get them everything I can muster!
