Photo's to inspire riding to work

[mtbman]

As the weather has picked up recently I thought I'd take a trip to work on the road bike.

On the way I went from wxm->ffrith-->llanfynydd-->treuddyn-->mold (10.5Mile)









On the way back: Mold-->padeswood-->kinnerton-->doddleston-->pulford-->Gresford-->wxm (21.5Mile)



Very satisfying to pass over the rat race ;D


Managed to stick mainly to back lanes and side roads, avoiding the traffic.

Hope I've managed to inspire you to get the commute bike out

Bah I thought I was good doing 11 miles this morning.

I got a puncture riding up that track at Penycae - the one where you got a puncture when you rode it with me, the week after I got a puncture riding there

I had one today Got the bike out in work ready for the home trip to find the rear tyre flat Thought i'd leave that out of the original thread, as its not very inspiring ;D

That's funny. I came out of work to find a flat rear tyre this evening.

Couldn't find a hole in it so pumped it up and had to stop a couple more times to pump it up again but it got me home.

I commute when I am working in Chester. Its nowhere near as nice route, but one day I saw this on the Dee, which I thought odd...



It goes to Airbus.

Sometimes my route home goes through Doddleston to Llay (I think) and then towards Padeswood and Mold through Sychden to Flint. Its a tw@ to get to Llay though!!!

Yes mate, it carries the wings to mostyn from our factory which are sent on a big boat to france for final assembly


Still too icy in the mornings to be cycling to work & back off the permanent nightshift

Not a hope in hell of me cycling the 21 miles each way to work!!!
