Just to warn other (mainly bikes) road users there seems to be something quite slippy on the road as you come off the roundabouts onto the bypass at The Malt end of Burly. I was in the outside of the lane on my bike just turning into the lane before straightening up when my back end (of the bike) slid first one way and then the other.

Yeah nasty when your back end steps out of line
Was it the top roundabout near Burley Hall?
Managed to write off an R1 there several years ago by slipping on diesel at 20mph!!!
Thanks for the warning BTW
Do I have to

No it was the other one where if you go right it takes you to Otley or go left to go towards Ilkley and the other roundabout by the kids/eating pub at the edge of the village (cant think of its name right now)
I was coming from Otley and decided to ride to the far roundabout and ride back into Burley that way, just to get that extra 5 mins ride, as you do. It was an err interesting experience to say the least.. Funny thing was my first thought when I was pointing towards the central barrier, wasn't ohh I don't want to go into that as it will hurt.. It was. ohh 'heck' (or words to that effect)if I come off now I'm going to damage my bike!!'
