Debris, Snakes

Todays windy commute was nasally punctuated by a few, 3, sharp pungent aromas. Road kill snakes. Spring is really rushing in headlong in the Tweed.

Shame that the traffic flits past unconcerned and unenlightented to the death and destruction being mete out just outside their exteral shells.

Commute to Continue

Well now that the DER is again financial. I will be looking forward to the commute to continue throughout the Spring and Summer . It may not last even now but that will be unforseen. Even though it is rather boring work, it is busy so the day day goes quickly. That all leads to the bit of time between riding seems short.

I am also looking forward to the end of these blasted South Easters and the return of the afternoon Sea Breeze to send me on my way each afternoon I'm on the bike.

Mur'bah Commute

Meeting tomorrow so I rang the DET office location and was told "no worries" about secure bicycle parking. They will let me use their undercover lockup. cool. Now I just need to secure the Netbook for the trip over Reserve Creek and it is all go. I think I will ride the Cypress rather than the Shogun as the route is hilly rather than the usual flat to undulating Tweed route.

Edit: the meeting went a bit longer than advertised and I didn't leave until after 4:30PM through the thick hot smoky air filling the Tweed Valley. Rode Reserve Creek Rd. as planned but needed to ride the last 3 kms in late twilight. Made it home with another 23 km on the commuter computer.

Joined the throng

Just a test posting to see if posting will do my tweet for me. Commuted home against the wind today. I thought it would be a nice Nor'Easter but it didn't really get that far round just an annoying crosswind. And the smoke from local fires on Watty Bishop Clotiers Creek made for a difficult to breath ride towards the end...
