Well as Jeremy Vine is a giant knobhead I won't be listening anyway and his brother Tim is about as funny as a shit in your pants.

Having said that I was out yesterday having a little potter around Derbyshire and on the Via Gellia from Cromford to Newhaven (famous local biking road) when I was overtaken, badly, by about 10 sportsbikes riding as a group and being total dead men riding. Now given the chance I would have given those dozy bastards a kicking.

Ooooh aren't I grumpy today? Must be because I have finally given in to doing some gardening.

Yes there was something on the BBC News website about groups of bikers in the area flouting the new Boris rules.......

I think there were examples of this countrywide ....who will be complaining if just one of them is diagnosed with the dreaded virus 🤔.
Biking has just taken a very major step backwards

I managed to escape for a run on Sunday mid morning. Riding along the A518 from Uttoxeter to Stafford I was surprised to see 20+ bikers had stopped at a café (no idea if it was open) and any notion of social distance appeared lacking but I may be wrong as I had just a few seconds to take it in - I was not stopping!
