Re: Should have ridden to work today
I can't wait to start riding to work again. It taking me an hour and a half to get to work at the moment. We have also just closed an office in the city so have 60 spaces for 200 people so there's no parking.
At the moment it's just to cold and I'm not about to buy more new kit, I also can't turn up all ****ty either, so roll on warmer weather and I can get to work in 30 minutes again whilst having fun |

Re: Should have ridden to work today
But ya-ya, if you came off on the ice, then your ass would have hurt even more, and it would have cost you a darn sight more
On rideouts - you won't get left behind, there's always a marker, and usually plenty of stops to tell tales of derring-do. Come to Abersoch, end of March, it's a brilliant route even if I say so mysen. Anyway you probably ride faster than darylB. I mean, who could be slower than darylB PS, hello Daryl, I'm at work tomorrow so you can give me a kicking before I head off to Scouseland |

Re: Should have ridden to work today
Not quite a 'should have ridden to work' but Peg went to Essex yesterday in the car to visit DT.
Spoke to him around 10am this morning and he said he'd be home mid afternoon. Got a phone call at 2.30 that the A1 was shut and he was stuck in a traffic jam somewhere. Spoke again at 3pm to say....the M1 was blocked off too! Apparently it had taken him 3 hrs to travel roughly 25 miles. Everywhere he went was gridlocked. At around 4pm I sent him a message with places to try and get him home, as his last place was Nottingham area. So I sent him..Matlock, Buxton, Glossop, Holmfirth, one of my favourite rides, that I've wanted to show him for ages. Shame he never took the bike as a) he'd have been home hours ago, and b) he'd have had a great run home the way I've sent him. even though the Holme Moss road is probably scary in the dark, but with the ZZRs stadium lights I doubt that would be an issue. I'm still waiting for him to come home

The Sheffield Parkway was closed both ways this morning for a while (body found ) and my mate from Stocksbridge had his very own 'Should have ridden...' much in the same way as Peg got stuck. Adi would have filtered his way to the turn off (not closed) but instead sat for over 40 mins in stationary traffic full of angry commuters. Someone at work was moaning about how people should be more considerate when ending their own life...I say, each to their own. Hope they get home soon too.

Re: Should have ridden to work today
Well he went the way I told him, shame he never got to see any cool views and twisty roads from a bike point of view.
Only took him 8hrs to do 250 mile And even on that route it was detoured all over the place Its a conspiracy...to keep everyone in their own homes, and only going out on horseback on a Sunday

Re: Should have ridden to work today
I'd have got owners details and contacted the police. As Embee points out, what if it bites a kid next time?
