What a friendly bunch, i thought.

I won't be riding over there then. I have my reasons for not wearing one.

Forgot to mention, i had to stop twice on the ride up the chevin; once at the bottom for a comfort break, and then again half way up for a snack bar when i ran out of petrol. I got that empty feeling in the pit of my stomach and knew i wasn't getting a lot further without food.
