I don't ride so much these days - is the passion gone??
Just a wee talk about how I don't ride as much as I once did... I actually forgot to mention a pretty relevant reason:
When I started riding, I was made redundant from a full time job, and secured part time, agency work, for the State Emergency Service. This work was mostly only when there were weather events, so when the weather was fine, I had all the time in the world to do everything else, including riding :)
Now I'm back working regularly again, and this does limit the ability ro go off for a week on the bike when i feel like it,
