I almost believed you up until this ;-)

I'm off out at 1900 until 2100 (about 25 miles) around the sights and sounds of a Friday
night in Hull.

Just got in from a 20 mile blast around the Berkshire countryside. Absolutely wonderful.

Out of interest, roughly *where* in Berkshire? Doesn't sound like Reading to
me 🙂

It's true, honestly. I was amazed myself so just had to share it with everyone.

There's more to Berkshire than Reading although I'm not that far away. I was riding out toward
Swallowfield.

Thanks. I had a feeling it was around that area, as the *only *other bits of countryside round here
are mostly in Oxfordshire!

Saw one of the more clueless bits of driving for a while on my otherwise nice run, at an antiques
place at Abernyte. Some fool was driving slowly along the road looking for a space in the car park.
Nothing too wrong with that, until you get to know he was driving along the *wrong* side of the
road. And since he was looking for car parking space he wasn't looking at 4 bikes roaring down the
hill towards him. Didn't see me at all as I went by on the "other" wrong side, our next team
member's wild "what are you *doing*?" gesticulations at least got seen by his passenger...

But a great ride, once we'd taken off the windproofs and extra jumpers we'd put on because it was a
clear day in January and therefore cold... Route planned so we'd come back with a wind behind on the
flat after a supersonic descent, and it worked like a charm.
