The image below was doing the rounds on facebook today.

The reason it can be related to and provide amusement is because there is more than an element in truth to it. Laughing

So what is the 'for the hell of it' longest detour that you have made.?

Did a 630 mile sponsored ride to Germany last summer.

Got home 5 days later after 11 countries and nearly 3000 miles.

Some years ago me and a mate rode to our work to start a morning shift. This was in derby. It was a beautiful warm summers morning. We arrived at the gates, looked at each other, nodded and rode off.

By the evening we were on the west coast of Ireland eating seafood and drinking wine.

Made it to work three days late. Detours are awesome.

Totally random but that sounds like a pretty awesome detour!

One thing led to another and... Wub ?

Sadly, wick-dipping privileges mean that I can't vanish on a whim. Although I am feeling a bit of an itch recently.

You should be more careful where you dip your wick then. Don't worry, a cream will clear it up.
