I have just got in from Driving in the snow. Was at a friends house and the roads were fine, get out to drive home and it's taken me 45mins to do a 5min drive!!! Duall carriageway most of the way which you would expect to be clear n all that but nope. Its the same as my street, covered!!! 15mph all the way!!!
Madness.
Bit concerning though as I have 2 tours going out next week n I need to get some gear down from up north before I can send them out!!!

So it took you 9 times as long ? At 15 mph that makes your ' usual' speed 135mph - respect, Britney!

Ah blah blah blah. You forget traffic lights, stopping at roundabouts, and the obligitory white van man attempting to get up the hill sideways.
So my usual speed is about 134mph with all those taken into consideration puny.
