Knocked up a nice 75 miler and in the process dropped my average mpg from 50 to 46 (I'm getting in to the swing of this :-).
My route was Market Harborough -> Melton Mowbray -> Bingham -> Syston and A47 back to Market Harborough.
Put a big smile on my face. £9.37 in fuel well spent.
Did you go out today ?, what was your route ?
Opinions are like A**holes, Everyone has one. Some people seem to have more than one though which is a bit odd.
Did about 150 ish miles with a group of guys on various bikes ranging from Fazer thou, BMW gs1200, Tiger 1050, a Mille streetfighter, and my fz1.
Went to Glasson dock, then to Lancaster, on to Windermere, kirkstone pass, A6 to shap, then back through Lancaster, and home to Blackpool.
A truly mint day out. Threw up the foc-u salute a few times, but no replies unfortunately!

Went to my first ROSPA meeting today - a nice blast round some Cambridgeshire villages in the cool morning air! Even thought a short run of ~30miles it left me with a big grin!

Me plus several other foccers all went down to Dungeness from the Oakdene Cafe as part of the London Foccers meet
Probs hit about 240 miles in total for the day
Went to a Group Ride Leaders training session, followed by a demo ride out.
The session was well attended, which is good, since I was the one organising it!
Yep meet some lads in Bury then had a nice run through the trough of Bowland, Caton, Devils Bridge, Hawes, Ribbleshead, Settle, Gisbon, back to Manc lovely
i don`t have anything profound or funny to write so .............................
saturday was better weather than sunday, but around 9 degrees.I am scrubbing in tyres on both my bikes, so did about 250 miles this weekend.
Love the feel of new tyres!
I have a local runaround southam and banbury which is mostly B roads, but very flowing.That was saturday srun,....... Did the B6047 yesterday, after a refreshment stop at Uppingham. I do recommend the burger van there, he does great tea, and great rolls too. Not greasy , very clean place. Its a regular stop for me as its a superb ride from Rugby across country.Highly recommend the road from Market Harborough to Uppingham, going through Medbourne. Cracking road with some excellent views too.
I enjoyed good weather on sunday, but on the half a horsepower bicycle.
Fuel cost me around 10 euros (lots of beer and sandwitches). It was a nice day.
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
Too much salt on the roads for my liking. 40 hilly miles on the push bike as well for me.
