Speaking as something of a weekend warrior, I'll be taking the tube today.

Hope it's good at the weekend though, got the thick end of 1500 miles to do.

France.

A quick peek at Google Maps suggests it might be more like a thousand than fifteen hundred so I may have to find some extra twisty bits to rack up the extra mileage.

Do what it wants as long as it dries up for Thursday. I've got a test day at 3 Sisters on my newly built CBR6, so I dont want to be puddle hopping on my 1st time out on it

Got soaked on the way into work today, took the slower roads as my throttle issues are giving me a headache. I know how davenumbers feels now, fix one thing another part brakes not the weather to be riding the autobahn that is the M62/M621 on a morning.

I see severe weather warnings are up for the North West.

Rain in April, eh? Who'd have thought it.
