Been a while... Think I last contributed to this thread back in 2002!
Been off the bike a bit. Slap on the wrist for me! So now I'm back to trying to do my 12.5 mile commute one way each day. Took a new route last night, looking for an alternative to roads. Followed a roman road past a gypsy camp to the next village out of town, but don't think I'll be using it in winter. It's unpaved, officially a byway but mostly used by tractors I'd guess! It'll get a bit muddy. Not to mention the number of burnt out cars past the gypsy site. Shame, it'd be nicer than the roads! Saw lots of rabbits though.
Commute in this morning was slooooooooow... I'm badly out of practice.
