And now for the journey home

FUCKING OW. I knew this would happen. Five miles down hill is real easy. Five miles up is hell.

While the journey to work along that route was really nice and I loved it to bits, it is obviously not the route I should be taking home. My initial thoughts were that I had found a nice flat way to get up the hill, and while it is indeed more flat, it means there are sections which are a nightmare to climb. Not to mention, of course, that really nice wooded path on the way to work? IN THE DARK IT IS SCARY AND FULL OF MONSTERS.

OK, next time I’ll be taking the direct route home. Straight up Holloway Road and Archway Road. Holloway is actually quite flat, and Archway at least flattens out for a bit.

Alas, no cycling to work again this week because of my Birmingham trip tomorrow, and I’m going to spend the end of the week at Tori’s while she finishes her dissertation.

    I’m impressed, this is more of a hill than I thought it would be. Also you need a light, have a look for SSC P7 on eBay and you will find some relatively cheap, good and hugely bright lights. Word of warning though being chinese the quality is variable. Mine overheated and burned out in under a year, but a new diode is only £11 or so.

    I am looking forward to March when I will have a very similar journey in Bristol!
