Gareth here from Cornwall.
I’ve been riding for the best part of a quarter of a century now, on and off, although I should probably admit I’m a strictly fair weather rider. If the forecast says rain, the bike usually stays in the garage (so in Cornwall… about 10 months of the year!).
The only time I ride in the wet is when I’ve been caught out by it appearing out of nowhere. I’m fairly sure “fair weather rider” will eventually be engraved on my headstone.
I actually put a deposit down on a ZH2 today, which explains the username, although slightly cruelly I don’t get to pick it up for a couple of weeks. So at the moment I’m in that dangerous phase of watching far too many ZH2 videos and impatiently waiting for collection day.
I’ve had various bikes over the years, but it’s been a little while since I’ve had something properly exciting, so I’m really looking forward to getting back out on the road again.
I’ve lived down here since I was 22 (now nearly 45) so I know a fair few of the good Cornish roads, but it’ll be interesting to hear what routes other South West riders enjoy.
I think that’s it for now, apologies for the long-winded intro!
