No trains between Parkway and Temple Meads on Tuesday so unleashed the road bike for a longer commute. Managed to get lost on the way back and by the time I was at the entrance of Stoke's Park I had 18 minutes to make the train. Stoke's Park is diagonally cut through by a bike path that steadily ramps up and ends steep enough to justify three switch backs. I thought there was no chance I would get up it and around UWE in time for the train so abandoned all urgency and just paced myself. Made it with five minutes to spare.

Makes for a lovely commute.
