No chance of a run today. Heavy rain all day, I'm building an ark instead. 🙄
No, they tried to get some dosh out of me but I argued that there are are 6 free bike spaces and I was one of those bikes. He mentioned that there were over 25 bikes in the car park and they all couldnt be amongst the 6 free spaces and if need be he would put a ticket on all of them if I didnt pay. I urged him to make a start but inofrmed him he best be sure he was a good runner as even in leathers, he had no chance of esacaping 25+ bikers that were baying for blood over his ridiculous car parking regime.Needless to say, he toddled off and presumably told his Mum as about 10 mins later the cops turned up to say that somebody had been threatened and we should all move. As the attending plod was a biker who I've seen before he winked and just said that he was there in presence only and not to worry, just had to go through the motions etc. You’re such a rebel Roo! 😂😂What a crock. They want you to put 6 bikes in one car parking space (way too many), too close together to actually get on and off when crammed like that but then everyone has to pay per bike. meaning they want 6 tickets per car parking space............eeeeer, no thanks! What is the law now apparently is to park up the hill in the gorge and walk down to get a cuppa!........REALLY?They did offer us a fantastic scenario where we can park for free 400m up the gorge away from the coffee shop and the toilet where we wouldn't be an issue en masse. We can then walk down the gorge on the road (with no foot path), down to the cafe to get a brew, to then walk it back up and sit and drink it near our bikes at no charge................Perfect!I really have no idea why people are so anti bike, we spend a fortune on coffee and burgers etc, dont leave a spot of rubbish, there are no tab ends about and we always park efficiently and considerably for everyone else , we never have any problems with anybody but it appears that we are bikers so cant be trusted and need to be out of the town. Incredible.Saying that and taking all sides of the subject into consideration most of us have comeup with the same attitude.I'll park where I want and I'll very much, do as I please!
