Default Sometimes, just sometimes it's all worthwhile.

After an enforced day of rest I've planned a fairly active day, so logic would dictate an early night, so what did I do


As the Speed four had been neglected for the last couple of weeks and it could really do with a run, I indulged in one of my favourite bike rides, a sort of Grand theft auto for the real world, setting to traffic off/ night mode/ weather set to raining.

3 hours riding some of London's finest roads, absolutely awesome.

I might well be totally nuts, but hey I'm enjoying the madness......

Cheers Mark.

Actually I'm dead jealous of you enjoying riding a motorbike so much. It has it's moments, but late night, in the rain, in town, and for no other reason?
Plus I need better equipment (waterproof)

London's best roads care to post up your tracker file?

I'm with Mark - any roads can be good roads*, depending on your mood

And I actually quite enjoyed the run home last night, not being able to see the lane on the A3 at speed makes it all the more interesting

























*As long as they are not being ridden on a Gladius

Oh I'd definitely find a use for it if you bought me one.

I'm thinking it might be something along the lines of Top Gear and caravans...
