It's days like this, when you can just pull on the helmet, head off and forget about things for a bit, which make me love two wheels so much.
After spending at least half the weekend decorating (a nice bluish grey now that you ask) I wanted to take advantage of the summer solstice and the sun yesterday afternoon, so I took the bike and pointed it East. I wanted to grab a cup of tea at Loomies, but with no specific timescale holding me back and nowhere specific to be afterwards, I was able to time a fairly relaxed approach. Following the obligatory dose of tea and sausage sarnie, I headed back out and just enjoyed the ride, burning off two tanks of petrol in the process. I stopped for about an hour to grab some food and then turned for home and for the first time in six months I actually ended up riding in the dark, which was fine really as by this time, the roads were so quiet and I was able to make swift progress along some wide trunk roads.

MeMy name is Matt Brown and I'm a UK journalist formerly based in London, but now calling the South of England home. I've been riding bikes since 2007, but got hooked straight away. Nothing gives me the feeling of freedom, even when stuck in a city. In 2010 I became a RoSPA gold rider, but when it comes down to it, I'm Just a normal man, riding his bikes as often as he can.
