On a day like yesterday, hill walking here competes strongly with riding my bike.

On my way to the garage today, I have noticed one of the streets was closed and people were gathering around. When I got closer, I found this.
*20 years ago, there was a illegal bike racing community racing on that very road always at midnight. This was the very first time they did it officially with the support of the local council. 16 riders only + some stunt riding and other stuff. The winner of this event was a lad on a stock Bandit 1250, beating KTM RC8, R1, ZX10R, and so on.
EDIT: The reasoning behind organising today's event is quite simple and very Czech indeed. The mayor heard about the illegal racing in a pub, where he met one of the riders who told him all about it. The mayor, a motorcyclist himself, then decided to hold the event.
The dragster bike was there just for show and is a modified VTR1000 SP01/02, supercharged.

if only the UK wasn't full of nimby's and local politicians who seem to be "down with this sort of thing" for just about anything |
Several years ago (even long before I was even born), we used to have all sorts of motorsport events on public roads in the city. Looking at old photos it seems surreal that once there were car/motorcycle races on public roads here.
Then the organisers either lost funding/sponsors, or the local councils lost their interest. That's pretty much all there's to it. If you have the money (funding) and the councils say alright, you may hold a race meeting. Well, there are several safety regulations and all that as well, of course.
Nowadays, we got back the motorcycle roadracing (just like what you've got in the UK = TT, Ulster GP, North West 200...), events are being held all over the country and got popular again.
But again, it's all about the councils. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

Well, you can only let work get in the way for so long !! So, out to play in Shropshire today, essentially going to Ellesmere and return, not by the most direct route ..
The pictures.. Codsall Station pub, cracking pub, then 1 for teh Dallas fans, the bike @ Southfork !! St Mary's church in Astley, Moreton Corbet Castle by Shawbury, a couple at the mere in Ellesmere, and, finally, the Sleap branch of the Mash fanclub 🤣 Oh, and then the route.. Not too bad, a nice 133 mile potter about

Not today but early on Sunday morning I met up with a friend and rode from the Oakdene cafe down to the Fishponds cafe at Hawkhurst via the fun twisty bits
The food is better than at the Oakdene so was worth the effort to get out early before people started to clog up the roads.
We both had family commitments in the afternoon so were heading home by 11.15am and the afternoon turned out much hotter and sunnier than expected

Not today, but yesterday .. Had a decent run about though.. Went to meet a mate in Cardiff, went down through Hereford and so on, and on the way back, decided to chose between the Cotswolds or the Malverns, chose the Malverns. Route works out at 281miles according to Google Maps, although I probably did a bit more than that, as, for a kick off, I did a full circuit of St Athan airfield.. Anyhow as I do, here are some photos from the ride out, including 1 showing the route..
