I need a cycling icon.

I've just ridden from home to Winford via Wild Country Lane, Hobbs Lane and Barrow Lane. The sign said "Dundry 1½ miles"; how hard could it be? Dundry Lane was ok, but that last stretch of Winford Lane to the top of the ridge was fucking hard work.

I'm a lot fitter than I used to be, but I've a way to go yet before I'm truly comfortable with gravity defiance.

Still, Dundry Lane, the Bridgwater Road, Barrow Street, Hern Lane and Wild Country Lane was pretty much all downhill on the way back. Time to sort out tonight's dinner now, and finish updating our backup server's Ubuntu (having isolated the fscked memory stick that was upsetting it earlier today).

ETA route.

Dundry Lane.... Winford... ding!

Pete - I know a guy who lives at The Beeches, Dundry Lane, Winford, I'm doing some work with him in the coming months on a Delphi project. His name is Dave Spanner. Don't suppose you know him do you? I'm going to be in that neck of the woods for a day either next week or the week after, to get the ball rolling. Small world!

Small world, indeed :)

I must have biked right past his gaff yesterday; a nice place to live too, with Winford just down the hill and Bristol only a few miles in the other direction.

Let us know when you're around and maybe thee, me and ramtops could meet up for a cup/glass of $beverage or whatever.

Oh - yes, I'd really like that.

Thanks!
