Where did that year go? It's been a busy one and I have spent far too little time riding just for fun.

I've still done a lot of miles but these have been mainly doing my 20 mile round trip to work and back.

Next year I am planning to carry on with the commuting, but I would also like to do more riding that is just for fun; I guess that's an early New Year resolution!

I'm having a couple of weeks off and am looking forward to Christmas and the New Year, so this is my final (very short) blog of 2011.

As well as having more riding fun next year a couple of other things I would like to happen are:

1. A better understanding between road users irrespective of their chosen form of transport.

2. Judging from some of the comments left on previous Blogs, I would like people to make sure that they have actually read and fully digested what I have written before they decide to leave a comment and to make sure that it's relevant and isn't just a petty insult.

3. A much better summer would be nice!

4. World Peace!? Maybe there's more chance of this than number 1!

Happy Christmas to everyone!
