And remember to double, and then triple check you've zipped it up properly!

Definitely have to be careful in the work car park. We've got one of those ones made of bricks and it's slippery as fk when wet.

Ours used to be underground, down a slope, round some tight bends, onto polished concrete, stop, show pass to security guard, and off again. First day it rained and four bikes / scooters went down, some big enduro thing dropping serious amounts of fuel onto new concrete. It was closed for a week while grooves were cut into the concrete ramp. The polished concrete was extremely slippery in the wet - leading to carpark length fishtailing the first couple of times.

Got here at 8.05 am set off 6.55am

The security hadnt been sorted entrance to the building- Admin people!- She did tell me it would be sorted for today. So had to park in Waitrose !furious But will be ok for tomorrow. Hope the bike is ok ?

Had a great ride in, watched other riders and followed them picking up tips on how to deal with road conditions etc, had a chat to a few at traffic lights.
Limehouse Link I did rev it up a little
hehe

Took my time, but felt confident overtaking and pushed on from the lights etc. Bike felt great round corners and easy to handle.

Is it time to go home yet???
Is this Canary Wharf Waitrose car park ? I park there, we are gonna have to have a PH BB early morning Starbucks meet, there are several others here who park up as well
