Default Should I or should I not?

I have a bit of a dilema going on at the moment!

My work has decided to send me at short notice down to Lincolnshire in Englandshire, in fact it was such short notice that I am already there.!!

As I had to bring my uniform clothes etc due to the fact that i'm going to be there for about 8 weeks I had to come down in my car.

The dilema I have is that I am bored already at night due to the really bad accommodation provided and have noticed that the roads are quite good apart from all the speed cameras.

I am hoping to get home some weekends to see my family but on the weekends I am stuck here I am thinking about bringing my bike down so I can have some fun on these roads.

Only problem I have is getting home to get my bike as I need my car here as well.

So do I go home this weekend and get my bike or not?

Don't know how to set up a poll for your opinions!!

Lincolnshire certainly has some super roads. As we found out when we went mid July. Only wish I'd been riding me bike, and not Peg, I had to drive behind my own bike and watch it get flung all over the place!

Get yer bike

Yeah great for riding round here. If you have a Wednesday night free go to Willingham Woods near Market Rasen, there'll be loads of bikers for you to share a cupper with.

What are you waiting for

Good idea Ed. Millions of bikers in Lincs, I don't think they let you in if you don't have a bike licence. Look up Lincolnshire Bike Nights website for regular Weds meets as well as Willy woods etc. The roads do claim a lot of lives though for some reason. Whereabouts are you?
