# ROOPHLOCH 2020 - Commuting
2020-09-28

This is my entry for ROOPHLOCH 2020.
I'm on my commute home from work.
Actually, I've cheated slightly and ridden a few km past my
house today to find a quiet bench by the canal at the south
of the city.
I'm fortunate to have a short (~9km) commute to work, which
I cycle.
And, living in a relatively small and formerly heavily
industrialsed city I'm fortunate to be able to ride almost
door to door on shared use paths that follow the route of
former railway lines and canal towpath.
So I'm now sitting on a bench by the towpath at the south
edge of the city by a dis-used and overgrown bridge. Roughly
20 minutes riding from the city center the main road that
loops around the city to the south west is audible in the
distance but from here all I can see is feilds, trees and
still water.
I'll link a couple of photos when I get home.
I'm typing this in vim, with my thumbs, ssh'ed into the
republic inside termux on my second hand OnePlus 3, it's
_painfull_.
I'm going to add this entry to the gophermap then follow the
path through the next couple of bends, climb a small hill
and close this little loop along one of the previously
mentioned rail trails. Because I'm hungry now and its time
for tea.
*** Later... ***
Home now, the fish is in, the spuds are boiling.
The small biting insects that hang about by the canal enjoy
the tase of Dave, oops.
I have ammended the post to spell ROOPHLOCH correctly.
