For all the chat about how shit Nottingham/ Derby are*, two commuting days in London last week were all I needed to remind myself how shit riding there is.
It was so depressing.
Had the morning off so went and cleared my locker out and took my flatmate on my route to Derby (his 8 weeks there starts today), was absurdly beautiful, if a little windy. Rode home, chilled out. New, not daily (as they've given me accomodation) commute is to Mansfield, which is an even better commute and even shitter town. Still, if I get organised, my evening spins home will be amazing.
I can sympathise with that. I'd live in the country too if there were actually any jobs for me there. I am quite happy to ditch the city stuff most of the time. I can always come in on a weekend, go nuts and then retire back to my probably-far-larger house in the sticks. Not gonna happen though.
