Singing out for the Summer

Thank God that the summer is here and the nights are long. I was looking at some book the other day and it was talking about the numbers of people who clinically suffer from lack of light and good weather. I was amazed how high it was, and assume that this must have been worldwide and including places that stay dark for 24/7 (see www.eye-books.com/siberiandreams/home.htm). Not sure if it is the weather or the fact that am now in the swing of things being light in the morning and light late at night, but I seem to get so much more done. Perhaps this is why people feel better as we all feel better when we acheive.
Talking of acheiving - one of the things I have started to do since the weather has improved is to cycle more. This is also in part of the fact that we are publishing a book about 50 quirky bike rides around England & Wales. It has the longest ever title for a book, but will become part of a series which we are calling Bizarre Biking.
Have felt for a while that I needed to do more excercise - have also felt that it is good to do sommething to help ease congestion in this smelly city of London and finally thought it is a good way to justify eating lots of BBQ's in the sun!
It is amazing what it shows. The distance each way is about 11 miles. The options to get here are drive (and pay congestion zone), tube or bike. (There are others such as walk or bus, but for the sake of this am giving only the 3 obvious ones that are the quickest). It takes about 35 mins to drive, 40 mins to bike (and I get to go through the park) and 50 mins by tube. Therefore not only does it acheive what I want, but it is also time effective too!! Brilliant.
Watch this space for Bizarre Biking - it is great and will hopefully encourage all of us to get on our bike.
