Too short and not long enough to induce painful saddle sores or hallucinations, plus there are not urine sodden bus shelters to sleep in

Thats the trouble with having this sort of creature comfort in close proximity to where you live, it somewhat restricts one from venturing out to see the real world.Philip Whiteman wrote:..plus there are not urine sodden bus shelters for shelter.

I am not riding the Meriden 160 but our paths may cross. I am route checking the Cotswold Expedition for George and will passing near Edge Hill during the afternoon.
As I pass, you will be able to tell that I am a randonneur as opposed to a plebiscite Brevet Populaire peasant by my advanced bike handling skills, air of superiority, over-sized saddle bag, body odour and clear appearance of someone who possesses a few social problems.

I must admit I went out on the Saturday training ride as per usual and with the drizzle and my sore throat, I wasn't sorry.Philip Whiteman wrote:It was pretty grim this morning and the cold easterly mixed with light rain was far from pleasant. So you would not have missed anything.
To be honest, I wished now that I hadn't gone out at all and stayed in the warm.
