Got your wings eh? Good chap

Bit of a late response - I had to cancel a few times due to weather, but I finally got in the air with an examiner this weekend. Stressful couple of hours, but he was pleased and kindly granted me a pass with no negative feedback at all!

Technically I need my license through before I can call myself a pilot, but I figure I'm close enough!

Next stop lucrative contract with Ryanair....

Hoping to pass my test and get my pilots license this weekend. Quite nervous though and weather isn't looking amazing.

[I just need to test it]

Where are you biking?

Mostly country lanes / shared paths. It's all pretty pedestrian (ha) stuff. Fifty miles over about 5 hours.

I'm unusual in that I keep my speed down when I'm around other path users and communicate either vocally, with my bike bell or both. So many cyclists hurtle along in stealth mode. Pricks.

Not in Surrey.

There are shared paths in Surrey.

Granted not in woodland.

That's a bit off. Although here there isn't that distinction, all is shared, all should be responsible.

Weekend plans?

Most of the tracks in the woods round here are shared, there's a couple of bike only tracks and a couple of footpaths

The mountain bikers round here aren't quite as bad, apart from their insistence on cycling on woodland footpaths when the bike trails get a little muddy.

Ah I see, anyone behaving like that is not welcome anywhere, MAMIL or not, which I'm not. I was hoping maybe the other fella was a mountain biker and I would find new places to ride, hence my question.

I'm a supporter of MAMILs, particularly if they stay in the city and don't come into the peaceful countryside with their dangerous riding, littering, noise and general lack of respect and responsibility.

Has this person finished yet?

Just finished in 1st. Still 5 going. They are all at least 5 hours behind. They have 12 hours 23 minutes to finish...

Amazing as he was unwell the last week. Was thinking of dropping to only a double.

Weather said no, ho hum! Knew I should have gone to learn in Arizona or something!
