Ok, admittedly I may be due to the fact that I don't ALWAYS use the bike ... but TBH sometimes I just don't feel like fighting the losing battle against those "right-lane" hoggers and "random lane switchers", and the diesel/mud/sh*t covered Cheshire country roads (especially through Prestbury, which whilst a slightly shorter route, is caked in crap ... and that's not to mention the cobbled stones on a bend I wonder who's bright idea that was?!?) To be fair, I DID ride pretty much ALL through the winter (apprenticeship served! LOL) - only missed a day of high winds (which ain't much fun down the M62).

Re: New group- N Wales/Cheshire +
The 49 miles for my commute is if I use the A55, which is straight line work & squares tyres off. The A5 is an extra 15mins, supposedly.
"Right-lane hoggers" once you're sure are hoggers, are what the left lane was invented for, isn't it? "Lane switchers" don't like switching lanes when there's a car next to (or either side of) them. Bikes are thin for a reason. mud/sh*t covered roads, have you ridden in Wales? Cobbled bends, I'll give you... |

They also had the WHOLE of the rear car park available for CBT, unlike some schools that expect you to learn the basics in an area that you daren't fart in! And ... I'm too much of a gentleman to enter into any "willy waving" contest ... willy shaving? now that's a different matter |
