Participated in this years encourager to cycle commute to work. Last year there were gales blowing so I gave it a miss. Cycled all the way there and back clocking up a faster time than last years Children in Need cycle to work. Came back a different route this time going the same way home as I cycled in. Sometimes retracing your route by return can be uninspiring but in this way I was able to take up the challenge of two inclines that have intimidated me for months in terms of their respective gradients viewed from the comfort of the car. Managed them both though in good order and so this added an additional sense of accomplishment for the event overall and banished another couple of bogeymen hills!
