So I decided to wear my cordura pants and FT jacket. It seemed a good idea.
For a three o'clock kickoff i decided that I needed to leave around 1pm.
It was more like 1.20pm when I set off. The TomTom was programmed to get me to the ground. It was supposed to be 51 miles door to door.
It rained as I approached Maidstone but not enough to be too much of a worry.
By the time I got off the A20 it said 4.5 miles but 15 minutes to go. With traffic it was accurate.
I parked right by the visitor entrance nearby the Oldham supporters' coaches.
I was probably the most overdressed person there but luckily the weather turned less sunny to make it more comfortable.
As for the game?
It was shite. A new manager just arrived but still the same crap under achieving players that have been trounced in other games.
The ride home was a little better. Getting out of the car park was easy enough and even the run back to the A20 seemed quicker.
I stopped at the BP garage just before the M20 as unleaded is much cheaper than locally to home.
It was less windy. The rain had passed and I was home by about 6.25pm.
According to TomTom I had done 119.1 miles today at an average of 45mph.
The ride was better than the bloody game!
