As for riding in the mud, that was aimed at farmer Giles from Melbourne,
aka Classic I'm just waiting for him to move onto his farm................hehe.
Then you'll see some photoshop pics for sure.
I was trying to be upbeat about Uk, though I have to agree with you. LOL. I got the farmer giles bit as well According to my eldest lad (37) I have had a sense of humour bypass. I said its called getting married.

No, not in to games where blokes hit or kick a ball then run after it. When I was at work I never had the energy, after climbing steel all day. Now my greatest pleasure is pottering with my bike, taking my boxer dogs out.Or on bad days looking out at the weather, and knowing that I do not have to work out in the rain or snow. Not that I retired with any money. I looked up Pinewood on google earth , looks quite nice.

If you looked up Pinewood - maybe it is - I don't really know -
never heard of the place............
However if you looked up Pinetown, Kwa-Zulu Natal,
then
A you wouldn't say it was nice
B Don't leave your Google on or someone from here will steal it.................

It's not too bad, some good roads, riding all year round. HOT
Better than snow, sleet, rain and fog, ya know, UK summer weather hehehe
