O my god the weather up in scotland is crap very cold & raining cats & dogs i have 6 cornies worth of Oat Malt stout needing kegged.I have been putting it of for days with all this rain but the need for a pint of stout is kicking in. So i will just have to sprint back and forth to my brew shed probably end up with a cold but what the hell

I've cycled every day in 2008 so far, wonder if the run will continue tomorrow

Good stuff Andy

is that a commute to work?

Post by **Andy** » Tue Jan 08, 2008 11:50 pm

Yeah, just over 4 miles each way. Must admit that overtaking a mile long traffic jam this morning was rather satisfying

Good for you, my cycle-commute is 18.5 miles so I'm a bit pickier about the weather. Integra type-r while it's grotty.

I think you'd be safer on the bike

I bought one of those infernal cycling machines last week and have had six yes six inner tubes so far. Thats just over one per half mile. This cycling lark is damned expensive!

The worst bit is my wing mirror and rear view mirror are not there no matter how many times I look.

Tomorrow I will buy an ice axe to hit the cars that caress my legs or pull out in front of me or cut the corner when I'm waiting to turn right. This was supposed to be less stressful than queueing in traffic!
