For the past four working days I have been mostly driving a bloody great truck around Galashiels. For any that live in the area, stay clear tomorrow as I have my test! In an attempt to clear the conscience, I rode to and from Gala (Staying overnight and cheated with a bus over the weekend). The ride back yesterday was fantastic, door-to-door of just over 2 hours with a moving time of 1hr 52 minutes and a 17mph+ average!

I ride around our city and have to contend with endless chip shops, Indians and Chineses. Funnily enough, McDs and KFCs have the opposite effect.
