Siberian Accentor 2

Have finally had chance to process a few more photos of the Siberian Accentor now that things have quietened down a little after all the excitement from last week.  The car is now in for repair after the bump just 7 miles from reaching Easington where the Accentor was.

Wayne has also uploaded to Strava the ride home from work after leaving early to twitch the Accentor.  For those of you not familiar with Strava I will try and explain what it is and how addictive it is.  It is a program for cyclists which through GPS records a number of stats such as distance travelled, average speed and time taken which you upload to the web.  Cyclists also create segments on Strava which are everywhere and on his 5 mile ride home from work there are several of these segments which as he passes in and out of them his time is recorded.  These stats are then uploaded on to Strava and are entered into league tables for each segment so as you can imagine it is great fun trying to beat your personal best times as well as others.  Well on this particular day racing home to go for the Accentor he thrashed his previous best time for one of the segments and was placed second in the league table and was only 2 seconds behind the leader.
