Default Wise and ahead of the game, or nuts ?

Those people whizzing in and out of the 10 mile car park the roads out of town became yesterday....

I got to the point where i could see a short cut turn off up ahead, but had to wait 20 mins to get there, having already taken an hour to get the 2 miles or so from tower bridge to Toys rUs ....then when i made it up the side road, it was clogged at thetop....it was clogged everywhere...

2 hrs to do a 20 min trip on the bike...anyway...all the time people were getting thru on two wheels, while i sat there in the car, getting angrier and more frustrated...mind you, the cars couldnt get up the hill, so god knows what it would have been like on the ninja...

anyone else venture out on two wheels yesterday...?

I'm gonna give it a go when i find out what its like where i live. At my mums place at mo and stranded here cos the 2 side roads from here to the main road are ice and i dont wanna trek up the motorway until i know its not so bad and i can get near my place at least.
