mmm, lost a job at the end of October due to cutbacks, luckily only had a week off, but in a panick I started an Odd Job company with an advert in my local paper, so now I got a full time job and an Odd Job buisness on the side wich gives me about 2 evenings a week plus a day at the weekend, what with working on our house flat out in preperation for Tinsy Jr I am struggling to get out regulary.. (2 rides last week though, but none the 2 weeks before)
"When you stop you die" is my new motto.
Worked long hours with usually 2 or 3 nights away from home. So didn't get out much in the week.
That was until I was made redundant earlier this month, so now I have time to go out and ride whilst worrying how I'm going to support my family. At least I'm getting the miles in!
I run a paintball site and an airsoft site, so I tend to be working mainly at weekends and evenings during the week.
This means most of my riding is done at odd times on weekdays, with the occasional snatched ride at weekends if I'm lucky.
I invariably have to ride on my own too, since my 'conventional' working riding buddies have drifted away over the last few years.
Self employed helping lawyers that can't add up!
I usually work on Tuesdays, Thursday mornings and Fridays, so lots of free time to get mudd-ay off-road and go out with other old gits in the local CTC. Always looking for more work, but times being what they are ..... 😕
My friend (best work skiver on the planet) and I have developed a taste for night time off-roading around Swinley, so not exactly short of riding time at present.
