Not getting much leisure cycling in as commuting and utility cycling remain the regular saddle action. Pedalling my hoops round again today delivering Cycle campaign membership renewals. I enjoy the distribution rides though as the renewals are delivered to me randomly and the addresses then dictate my route and the distances to be cycled. Plus there is sense of purpose to the ride which works against going out and doing mindless circuits for the sake of it – or riding to beat a watch. Today I enjoyed my second sublime moment of the weekend – and of recent memory – not sure what’s going on what if my mind wants to be mindful then who I am to distract. Anyway yesterday’s unparalleled sense of beauty was experienced whilst driving through the village of Heath listening to Television’s ‘Marquee Moon’. Hitherto I’ve not been a fan of Television.  I think the length of the track coming in at 10 minutes assisted my transcendence – that and winding quiet country roads ebbing and flowing beneath four wheels. Today back on two wheels and assisted by an endorphin buzz I found myself achieving transcendence whilst meandering along county lanes edged with cow parsley as far as the eye can see. The other thing of note today was having to slalom around snails promenading across smooth black tarmac on the Station link and A61 path after some heavy rain earlier in the afternoon. I was keen not to squish them as after all they were only doing what I was doing  – enjoying some fresh air on a Sunday afternoon.
