....was such an easy run, I got there in no time today! I think it's because all the soccer freaks (lol) were asleep after watching the match.
The traffic this morning reminded me of what it was like in Sydney during the 2000 Olympics

Wish it could be that quiet every day!!

Of course! I was wondering where all the cars were. I stayed up to watch the start of the MotoGP but couldn't give a stuff about the soccer

no near death experiences today, does that mean soccer fans are bad drivers??

I also had a good run in, all 170km of it...bit nippy out through the plains, but not too bad. I'll have to buy a new screen for the ER though...not much fun without it.

Yeah, definitely the soccer...
Although the fact that universities are having a break this week helps just a little too..

Nothing to do with the soccer. I drove home from the city at 5am and there was feck all soccer traffic. It's the school holidays, and beware, mr plod likes to book people during this period cause the traffic's light.

Goddamn im clueless, i have no f#@*#&in clue when its school hols or not.
was a half decent run in for 1/4 of the run, the rest was as crappy and shuthouse as it ever is.
Sometimes i wonder wtf posessed me to apply for a job in prospect..
4 weeks ago i could leave home at 7:55 on the bike and get here at 8:30 on the dot.
Now im gettin here 10-15 mins later due to utterly screwed traffic, ugh, earlier starts are more f*in annoying too.
