They were banging on about temperatures hitting 23 degrees this weekend but its overcast and I suppose chilly if anything.
So what's happened? They seemed pretty certain about it being a hot one.

Just been for a 150 mile blast into Wales. Found a truly epic bit of road. It was sort of foggy and damp-ish but well worth it, started to get a bit chilly on the way home though Laughing

Temperature's about the same around here, but at least it's stayed dry most of the time.... Dry enough for a spirited ride to and from work until my next couple of days off. Thumbs Up Twisted Evil

Its stunning outside today, Sadly though my bike needs a bit of work because some twat hit it while it was parked up and hit the foot beg bending the bracket. I've managed to straighten it enough to ride and change gears but the things still off so I dont feel comfortable riding around on her.

grrr! Twisted Evil

Gorgeous in Cumbria again today. Just been on the harbourside for a beer and a panini with the mrs. Shame it can't last, might be taking the RSV for the commute tomorrow if it does!

Which road? Smile


This one, tight twisty B road stuff. Drag the streetview man to the squiggly bits! Links up with A483 which is also good in a fast, open A road kinda way.

Was at Oulton park today, brilliant day, brilliant weather Cool

The weather was great in North Yorkshire & Cumbria today Devil's Bridge was totally heaving. Managed to find bad weather up by Scotch Corner, but as I headed South the sunshine came out again.
