This morning I have turned from snow lover to snow loather in one long bike ride. With snow still on the ground from the UK’s ‘Big Freeze’ of 2010 today is Monday and it was time to get back to work… or so I wanted (never thought I’d find myself saying that!!). There are a couple of deadline-approaching things that I really want to cross off my to-do list, and to do them I need access to computer files that I can’t access from home, so we were decided and were up before dawn as per our usual day and jumping on our bikes promptly at 7am to start our commute.
After a 40 minute bike slide in which we made it precisely 1.1 miles (i.e. not even out of our town) of the 5 miles I needed to arrive at work and nearly fell over too many times to count, however, my 30 year love affair with snow came to a crashing end as I called it a day (well, what I actually said contained a lot more swear words than that) and walked back home instead (which actually took only 30mins, further illustrating that cycling was completely pointless) to work from home in a more time-efficient manner. Grr… am not impressed. The white stuff has got to go.
