Yeah that's almost my route the only bit I don't like about Cornets is all the tipper lorries that run along it, they have been dumping a lot of mud on the roads now the weather has gone bad, but it's a great tester of a drag if you hit it fast.Commuter: Forme Vision Red/Black FCN 4

Pootling home through one of those villages that's not yet had street lighting installed and just as I spy what looks like a man in a dark suit standing on the pavement, I hear him (and what turns out to be his chum) in unison announce "we can see you coming". 5 miles later in another village that has joined the 20th century a bloke walking his dog has the more prosaic "you look like a foookin christmas tree mate".
Lights. You know it makes sense. Flashing lights, fixed lights, ankle bands, one on the helmet for & aft...0 -
Nice day for it so late afternoon went for a ride into the surrey hills, not to warm or cold just about right.
Some lovely views, I was also impressed at how well the old Fenix torch, managed with the unlit lanes, and the mulled wine plus german hotdogs at the market was lovely!0 -
More good customer service from a watch company.
After forgetting to include the reference number when I sent my watch away to be repaired, I contacted Casio customer service to see if they could find it. They tracked it down from the information I gave in my email and after getting confirmation and payment from me have repaired it.
I only confirmed the repair on Wednesday and I got the working watch back today. Quick turnaround once the watch was tracked down.0 -
Kwik Fit turned out to be cheaper than t'internet for my new (car) tyre.
Had a great 3 hour walk through Sutton Park with the Spaniel, who did as he was told through out, even stayed off the golf course. Not even the rain that drifted in could ruin the day. Nice cuppa at bistro too.
Walsall didn't lose.--
Saw a sign on a restaurant that said Breakfast, any time -- so I ordered French Toast in the Renaissance.0 -

You know, Mudcow, it's even better than that.
But, it's two-wheel related, and until I start I don't know what the policy is on posting on here so I'd better keep the details under wraps (although feel free to speculate!). Very happy though.Commute: Chadderton - Sportcity0 -

Anything that includes a psychometric test in the selection process surely can't be a dream job?
You mentioned before that it was bike related....Mud - Genesis Vapour CCX
Race - Fuji Norcom Straight
Sun - Cervelo R3
Winter / Commute - Dolan ADX0 -
Well, the test pulled up things that they just used to back up answers I'd given in the interview really. But yeah... bike related.

Also had the pleasure of cycling past 1 & 1/2 miles of stationary traffic, thanks to rain-induced landslide on one of the major arterial routes out of town.
KFC has not helped either!!! You know you live close to a town of partial Inbreds when someone will queue for over 50 minutes for a KFC!!!!!!0 -

It's syncronised hamster training isn't it! I've always wanted to train a syncronised hamster team.
Congrats on landing a dream job - not many do so well.0 -

I say partial because I do not want folk round these here parts thinking that my wonderful self (and you!) are blessed with extra limbs or an inability to perform even the most simple tasks.
I think the farm yard thing is correct though, it would explain the huge queues for people to put animals in their mouths..... (Chicken!!)
