what did you do with your fazer today ?

[Grahamm]

After sorting out a post for the Bike Picture Challenge, I took a look at the weather and found that the rain that was predicted for 4pm was now more likely to be around 6pm and coming from the west, so I decided to go east...

I didn't really have a destination or route in mind, but I headed up the A32 past Loomies and then decided to turn right onto the A272 through Peterfield, then carried on to Milford and Petworth.

By the time I'd got ot Petworth I decided it might be nice to go up to Ryka's Cafe at Box Hill because I hadn't done that run for a while. It was a nice ride except for one point where a couple of twats on sports bike decided to blitz past so close that I could have touched them and they then went on to do some really stupid overtakes of cars ahead, crossing double white lines in the face of on-coming traffic.

Thankfully I didn't encouter any wreckage further up the road, but they were accidents waiting to happen.

Anyway, after stopping off at Ryka's for a bite to eat, I did a quick run up Zig Zag road, then back down the A24, unfortunately discovering that another couple of my favourite roads had been spoiled by arbitrary and unnecessary 40mph speed limits

Also, annoyingly, as I was coming back on the A272, I ran into a heavy shower which was a PITA because I'd washed the bike this morning...

Oh well, it was (mostly) a nice day for a ride!
