Another turn and then I'm on the final stretch, enjoying the opportunity to pass all the cars that have to queue for ten to fifteen miutes to get through the traffic lights - another bikey bonus! A treat for my American friends as well here at the end of this road, just to the right on the far side of the road, is the American International School where US workers living in this area send their children - you'd have never guessed that now, would you...

But I have to turn left at thos lights - then it's just a few yards before I reach the office - 33.50 minutes - not bad - almost a record. maybe tomorrow I'll show you the route home....

Enjoyed that as much as the overseas commutes - possibly because the familiarity is offset by some lovely scenery.

Cyclefrance, that's a great commute.

Did you take the pictures while moving?

If this was a competition, Cyclefrance would win.

But it's not a competition, so keep on posting everyone.

Although I really enjoyed it, I'd always vote for something I have little chance of seeing. Like big buildings and weird crazy people driving on the wrong side of the road, and locations from horror movies. I agree CF gets an honourable mention of course.
Now that I can agree with.

I agree completely. Which is why I like Cyclefrance's so much.:)

Did a few - but roads too bumpy to get a decent picture most of the time - if there's one thing the Brits are good at it's making lumpy, bumpy road surfaces!

Not really - I can't take the credit when mother nature's the artist - just lucky to live and commute amongst all this greenery. And variety is what makes our separate journey's interesting - to be honest I find the chance to see the journeys made by other people more interesting than my own - I do mine so often it has become too familiar (and I know when the hills are going to hit!) - seeing something new is more interesting for me. Difficult to see it as a competition when each contribution brings something new and interesting to everyone else.

Yup! There's one in the touristy Harbor District in Baltimore. It's the background on my phone... If I remember my camera I'll take a picture when I'm down there tomorrow (and some others, and post them to another thread).

Americans in Britain send their kids to American school??! Offensive!

Hey, stirrer :)

We're used to US Bases over here, no-one bats an eyelid. After all, we live secure in the knowledge our schools prepare our children for the oldest most venerated Universities in the world...

You don't want those kids coming back British, do you? ;)





Pete rode to work this morning. A car was right up close behind her and she's thinking, Here we go another driver/cyclist confrontation. Then he pulls up beside with a grin, "Hey, you were doing 45 (mph) in a thirty!"

Yeah! Keep them coming!!!! Thanks!! --We should change the thread title to Cellarite Commutes or something...

I had the best intentions this morning. I brought my camera and started taking pictures. About half a mile from home the battery died, just as a baby deer walked in front of my car.
