47m on the bike today, i had to go into work for a few hours so i picked up the A65 at Burley in Wharfedale and rode it all the way into Leeds, following the same outward route home. The inbound leg got progressively more and more grotty, whilst the reverse happened on the outbound. The number of potholes was only matched by the variety of types of damage; holes, trenches, washboarding, dips and gullies, the buses are to blame for sure, that and tar and chip resurfacing. My sinuses were so full of salt dust i had to have a decongestant when i got back. I'm bonking very easily since having norovirus and had to call in at Waitrose otley for a childrens hot chocolate and a reduced chocolate twist; i only had 3 quid.
