  • Good work @hippy

    Do you enjoy the strange looks at Taunton Deane Services? (The K&SW 600 uses that as a control and it's always fun to see motorists faces as you turn up to a Motorway Services on a bike...)

    Anyway, I never have to do another 600 again so there's that..

    Just one from StQeY to Brest and another back again. But they'll be a LOT different from a lone bash to the SouthWest and back.

  • I rode past the entrance to those services after looking at the boom and then had to double back for them. There's an easy hour I could take off just from stupid navigational mistakes.

    I didn't really notice any strange looks to be honest. Then again, I've spent long enough wandering around in full lycra that I probably ignore them. There were some youths in a car at a Salisbury? servo in the early hours that asked if I got my kit from gays r us or something similar. For some reason they didn't want to come and have a closer look though.

    PBP is an interesting prospect now - I'll only have a month or so of time to adapt to the road bike (totally different saddle) and most of that will be spent trying to walk again after Mersey Roads I guess. I'll also be at the mercy of bunches of dirty foreigners with interesting ideas about bunch etiquette I'm sure... :S
