Cycling the Slough Arm


Grand union canal
Towards Uxbridge 
This morning I wanted to exercise my off road itch so after waiting for it to warm up outside I got dressed and went for it. 

I put on my road leggings as I don’t own any baggies to off road with. I put a gel in my back pocket got out. I cut to the canal via Goodman park and it was fun.

It was mostly dry and gravel for the start I gave way in places to some other cyclists I wasn’t in a hurry so I could let them by. 

As I got closer to Yiewsley the tow path became muddy and when I hit the gravel under the M25 that took all my skill to stay up right.

It was only a short trip of 10 miles to get some blood pumping I’m hoping to get to the gym this afternoon and train legs with the PT there so have a look latter ! 

Have fun stay safe ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

There’s a bakery, butcher, delicatessen and a small off licence too.

There was no evidence of the Slough Grand Prix today so it must have been a quiet night. The only eyesore is the refuse on the streets, the fortnightly collection means bin bags get piled up and the ripped apart by the ever growing numbers of urban foxes looking for the rotting food inside. As I get out of the town I regret my outfit, I’m wearing a base layer, a wooly jumper and a coat the sun is bright and I’m getting hot. I’ve only bought a camera bag with me so I’ll have to suffer it and take the lesson. โ„ฑ๐’พ๐“‹๐‘’ ๐‘”๐“Š๐“Ž‘๐“ˆ  โ„ฌ๐“Š๐“‡๐‘”๐‘’๐“‡ ๐’ถ๐“ƒ๐’น ๐’ป๐“‡๐’พ๐‘’๐“ˆ As I get to Eaton it’s full of activity there are boys running between classes in tails and a few tourists wondering around, I was once asked by a Japanese tourist where Eaton college was I told him tha...
