What did you do with whatever else you've got?

Took advantage of the sunny forecast today, and took the Speedie fot its first whizz of the year. First stop was The Chalet for some breakfast. My initial plan was to head west to Loomies, thus keeping the low sun behind me. However, I thought I'd save that ride for when the Fazer comes out of hibernation. The A272 was still the chosen road, but eastwards towards Rye. This route would take in some well known B roads, that would be fairly traffic free. The wail from the race system, still puts a smile on my face. Can't believe I've owned this bike 29 years next month, as the day I collected her is still so vivid in my mind.
Beryl's cafe at Rye was as busy as ever, with the accompanied slow service, which is a direct result of its popularity. There was no rush, and it was very pleasant sitting in the sun. After a rip across the marshes to Brenzett, the road homeward was closed. Whilst pondering my next move, quite a few cars and bikes ignored the signs and took the road to Appledore anyhow. Nothing like a bit of local knowledge, so followed my intended route. Other than a narrowed section, the road was fine.
The car park at the Three Chimneys was heaving, but there's always a space for a bike. After a slow pint it was homeward bound with the bonus of getting home in daylight, clocking up another 137 miles on my old faithful.
