In the end, did go to Abberant – and yes, you guessed it, biked there and back. Very good going there, as it’s all downhill… but there’s a downside to going to a place that’s downhill, and that is that going back is uphill… plus it started raining sometime during the game… Still, It’s All Good For Me, right?

I have identified a junction that I think I’m going to avoid, coming uphill, from now on. Just get off and walk. Basically, the road suddenly goes even steeper uphill, and comes to a T-junction, and as it’s a fairly important junction there’s plenty of Big Things around to scare me. The two times I’ve actually ridden up it I’ve basically hurt my thighs sufficiently I don’t have the endurance to get much further, so I end up getting off and walking later anyway.

What a fascinating life I lead…

You can read what happened in the game, should you care.
