When I popped out to Stratford yesterday there were traffic cops everywhere I expect lots of bikes out in the sun

Getting warm here and increased bike activity here as well. Two weeks ago found me and my two co- workers on three different LZ's, each flying out motorcyclists. Fortunately all survived. Be smart, be safe folks!

Was very very busy out on the bike this morning.

Kept away from all the main biking routes and found a new decent road from the Craven Arms-Bridgnorth road back to Much Wenlock.

I found a couple of very nice and strangely quiet roads that way last year.

What awful reading, and just before I think about taking mine out.

I'm not a quick rider but still I'm aware of how vulnerable I am.

Feel dreadful for the police who had to break the news to families

An old school friend of mine is a doctor for BASICS http://www.basics.org.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; My already high opinion of him has gone up after reading that.
