My little 40 miles straight to and from the cafe turned into 51 miles, I rode straight to the cafe but couldn't resist a meander on the way back, it also included a dual carriageway section of the A5, a hundred yards up from a roundabout theres a lane on the right that takes me back onto the lanes, I knew they were working up there but thought I could get through on the bike but they had got it totally closed up, so I thought I can use the lane on the left a bit further up but they had that one closed of as well, I ended up doing several miles to the next turn. Apart from that it was a good ride, sunny, cool and a bit breezy but very enjoyable.

There's an English neighbour a few clicks drive away who has a special loathing reserved for IKEA visits. He is about 72 years but fit as a butchers dog and just vaults over the ridiculous chicane that leads to the tills leaving his wife to soldier on with the trolley.I only went to an IKEA shop once, when they first opened. Didn't buy a anything and never went back a 2nd time. If you want to buy something different to everyone else, then the worst place you could go is there.
Like Mo I always buy most of what I want online. I even buy my bloomers online as it would be embarassing to go Into a shop and having to ask about bloomers that are not continental size, but the size of a continent.
Reminds me of the ghost train at Llandudno pier in the 70's, my brother and someone I know would jump off and kick 7 bells out of the scary features then escape through a service door.

Aye, my new found environmental conscience did quail at the thought, but I do so little mileage it's really a non issue. It'll be garaged and kept on a float charger so shouldn't suffer from standing idle for a month at a time.
It'll be cracking for SAR callouts and camping.

Car taxis going to be the real expense. From zero to £28 a month. It'll use twice as much fuel, but when you're averaging 100 miles a month that's not an issue. Dad is going to get it serviced and 4 new boots before slinging it my way so it's a year before I need to worry about that.
If I get this job I wont be driving the 300 metres to work though.
