Out And About.

[Jacob]

I don't have much to say in response to your tour posts - but I'm enjoying them greatly

I wish I were your neighbor.

Yes, your and your family would make a nice change from some people around here who think they're property developers.

Popped out up the valley to attend a lecture at the museum this evening, a round trip of 37 miles on the folding bike, some of it was off-road, great fun coming back in the pitch dark over the somewhat muddy* high downs.

And I had the roads all but to myself, for the last 17 miles no car overtook me.

That's a nice trip on a bike, sounds very relaxing, and a good bit of exercise.

I would be a bit wary of the wildlife (including dogs, maybe humans) during the night on some godforsaken country road.

I'd be more worried about cars, drivers who are drunk, texting, sexting, talking on phones, or all of the above at the same time, even in daylight.

Exactly This.

I also see this behaviour, all day long, is it me or are drivers getting increasingly distracted on the roads by gadgets ?

I think that's why, at least here, governments are clamping down on them. Of course, it isn't like there was an issue with people looking at maps, newspapers, makeup, etc. back in the day.

Popped out to do some shopping early this evening, did a dozen miles,  part in the rain, lots of rush hour traffic around, glad my tyres and mudguards performed well in the standing water etc.

The most threatening experience I've had of British wildlife was a narrow path filled with angry looking cows.

I wish I were your neighbor.

I would throw all the used kitty litter into his yard.  The clumping stuff.  Like little Stonehenges of shit.

[Eddie Teach]

That's not very neighborly.

Yeah, it's an sorry comparison compared to what our American or Australian posters have.

Haven't seen teh Jack or Bumblebee in ages.

Did a quick 20 miles earlier this evening, on my only currently working/together bike.   



So by default I think this is my winter bike.
