Stressed? Need a tonic to lift yourself out of your Monday morning depths of dark winter shittiness blues?. Simple remedy. Ride your bike Ended up on a 2 hour ride in the dark and with rain falling at the end on salted slippery roads. The exhilaration of riding a motorcycle combined with the concentration required to deal with the conditions meant that by the time I got home I had calmed right down. 30 mins later I got a phone call from the contractor who had been the cause of my black mood apologising for his behaviour. I keep reading posts from people who say they can't wait till the Spring so they can ride again. Why wait?
