Looks as if Spring isaround the corner
« on: 18 February 2017, 10:46:03 am »
Yesterday SW France , 5 mins from were I live. Hopefully Spring is just around the corner it was 16 degrees mid afternoon but still gets bloody cold at night. Lovely countryside by me but the roads are crap for biking, covered in mud with the farmers or else gravel. I did find one decent road with some good twisties  so rode the length of it to check it out. Had a blast but Jaysus am I rusty or what, had best get the L Plates out as a guy on a Bergman pushed me all the way lol.

Hi Lew, good to see you been out, interesting as you refer to "being rusty" as to riding, it gets us all, I had a short spin yesterday, have to ease in in , roads not the best some dry bits,,last time I rode was Cadwell Park in half inch of water in November, felt stiff yesterday,, will have to watch for more riding windows.
Good luck in the search for twisties.

I used to live on Wirral, still have my place there but it is up for sale. Anyway I really do miss my runs over to N Wales and beyond. If only some one could turn the thermostat up and turn the water tap off now and then the scenery in all parts of the UK cannot be beaten.
