    Almost did the same.

    Fortunately my dad woke me at at 9 15. The ride was 9 30 so a few rushed texts, throw my kit on and shove a banana into my face and i'm hurtling down the road towards the meeting point to be met with groans and "there's always one" being said repeatedly.

    You missed a ride by only 1 hour? I missed a ride by 1 week. To add to my embarrassment I chased off after them trying to catch them up. :roll: :lol:

    One stupider...

    Man is coming to pick up rental bike at 9:00am.
    Set my clock backward 1 hour, basing my logic on the fact that "days are longer in Summer, including the mornings as well so it must be right".

    Didn't I seem like a right plonker when the guy called up at 9:00am, I daze out of bed convinced it was only 7:00, saying "you know the clocks all changed last night, right?". brickwall-2.gif
