Yesterday did appear to be national drive like a retard day here too. On the trip home I got cut up twice by spunkmonkeys who never even attempted to look & stuck behind every car as they'd all decided to do half the normal speed on every bit of road I use - 35mph on a straight clear 60mph ffs! followed by 15-20mph in every 30. Feck knows why it was warm & nearly dry.
Christmas cocks!

Fecking lovely ride in today. Went to bed and it was blowing a gale outside, woke up this morning, not a peep. Also nice and warm, heated grips on low. Low I tell you! No f
ker on the road either. Piss easy.
This. Very quiet roads (M4) was quite pleasant for December although road spray was dirty in the bad winter way (smeary). Suspect Jan/Feb are going to suck though.ker on the road either. Piss easy.toxgobbler said:

The muck being flung onto my helmet in this weather is ridiculous - black crap which turns my white helmet black. After 45 minutes my visor is filthy.Other than that it's lovely and warm down here in kent, t-shirt under my textiles. Still some idiot drivers out there though, like the van this morning doing 25mph in a 50 zone, then when I'd overtaken the line of cars behind him and went into a 60 (NSL) zone, he speeds up to 70+mph
probably on the phone.Completed my last riding day of the year to and from work yesterday. The numpty driver level was high on the way home last night but no real incidents.
Pub post work today means tube (urggh) to work today.
I very much doubt the bike will be uncovered or started before 5th Jan now since I'm on holiday until then.
This counts as my only real winter off riding time

The past 3 nights on late shift it has rained on the way home, 01.00 and pissing down! Oh the joys of biking, only snow stops me.
I am usually the same, only stop for snow, however for sake of two days left in work before 2 weeks off, I will take the car and be frustrated with traffic and the masses that struggle with the concept of driving

Came into work today on the bike............Fabulous
Roads clear great ride in.
Fingers crossed it will be fine when I depart, hopefully lunchtime today
Was like a ghost town this morning here, I hit every green light and it took 35 minutes vs my normal 45-50 minutes. If only every day the commute could be like this! Was great apart from the pissing rain and wind... Roads clear great ride in.
Fingers crossed it will be fine when I depart, hopefully lunchtime today
