Cold and sunny this morning!

Last night was a pain. Fair headwind all the way, and it got dark during the course of the ride. This makes the bike path section of the ride unpleasent because of the constant dazzle from the lights of cars coming from the other direction - especially when they are running full beam. The path only runs on one side of the main road (separated from it by a grass verge), so this experience is akin to running against the flow of traffic. If that wasn't enough, two inconsiderate cyclists almost forced me off - I had to slow almost to a stop to avoid a crash - because they insisted on riding side by side.

I'm beginning to see Chris L's point about bike paths...

Cheers,

Ed
