Had a good ride in the sunshine today. Xmas day is definitely a good un when the weather's nice. Unsurprisingly, hardly anyone out and about today, had many of the best bits to myself.
Went via Swindon, first brief break at Royal Wooten Bassett:
Then down to Calne, tagged on behind a ZZR1100 for a bit to Melksham, then Westbury, then Bratton Camp White Horse Hill:
Very cold wind on the top, so the flask of coffee I took was appreciated. Others were taking advantage of the wind up there:
Then a little winding B road to the A360 which is a lovely stretch, up and down and sweeping bends.
I know it's yellow, but it ain't
that slow
:
Still had over half a tankful by here, but found a petrol station open on the A303 and topped up just in case.
And once again, ended up here for the last coffee break of the day; Silbury Hill:
The road from here to Marlborough is fun, as some of you Foccers might remember from the Lofos ride we did along there.
So all good stuff, that's my idea of a good Xmas day
