Not in South Yorkshire (aka Sheffield). They're still slinging the stuff about with gay abandon...

And this is one of the exits from our village gritted every day for the last week. Kunts.

That looks ridiculous, I'd be sending an email or if you have a local neighbourhood gossip site, get the story out.

Isn't Sheffield practically Derbyshire?

It's south of Bradford, so technically shite

Pretty much. You don't need to go very far south or west to be in Derbyshire.

Mental health ride;) i.e. before the rain.
It's the Fisher Tarn water reservoir built around 1899 and contains 120,000,000 gallons the sign says!!

It rained last night and early morning,so by the afternoon the wind had dried the now salt free roads. It's to be settled and pleasant the next few days,so what's the odds of them re-gritting tonight to spoil the fun again? A bog cert,I'd say.

On the plus side,the council have named a street after me,cause I'm such a cool person.

Tis a cracker day today and fuck my old boots,if the council didn't bother with the gritter for once. I wanged in a very enjoyable couple of hours on the B and I'll maybe take another dig at it after lunch too.

Had a lovely few hours on the Street Triple earlier,I enjoyed it so much that I went out again for a spin just around sunset.
Theyr'e not to everyone's taste but I've grown to love the look of the 'Dame Edna'





After yesterdays rain the salt seems to have been washed away

2 years ago today I had my first ride of this!

Hmm, that memorial is a bit poor taste isn't it? Are there little mangled bodies behind the plaque?

I too think it's an odd memorial with the plane nose dived!
