all ok Hann, sort of...always a drama of sorts kicking off!!!! You?

I have my winter hack for those wet dark nights but don't want to go on that yet when it's still SUPPOSED TO BE SUMMER . Anyway, the rain has stopped so looks like I can play out after all as long as am back before lighting up time as the pink bike doesn't do lights either!!!

A moderately hilly ride with 7 others from the club out to Hellifield, Airton, over the moors to Settle and on to a fantastic hidden gem of a cafe at Feizor. The return was a very wet one and involved losing 3 riders, finding 2 and then locating the other 20 miles further up the road. Around 70 miles at 16 average with a few bumps included.

Got home from work in the heavy rain again.
Hit a pothole and then that horrible hissing sound (flat tyre)
I just put a new tube in.

Old lad under the bus shelter said "in my day we would have repaired that"
I said for the fiver it cost I was not even bothered.
He then asked why I was using a solid tyre on the back and an inflatable on th front.
I smiled and bid him good evening

25 mile blast after work in the glorious evening sunshine. Went as fast my little legs could take me Lots of bikies out tonight but they must have all been in a mood as were all miserable buggers

Only 1 idiot driver on the road tonight.

Got home got off the bike with proper wobbly legs!
