He'll be up and about on the bike again before most of the SWB community have plucked up the courage to venture out now the temps have dropped below 20C.....

Hope you had a good ride out, i didnt make it back in time from gatwick. Hopefully will make next weekend. Bloody 'Dad's Taxis' in effect two weekends in a row ..

You're not wrong.
Just got back in from a short ride, just a coupe of hours and that was long enough with the display not going above 12 DegC.
West bay was slammed. New rear tyre scrubbed in.

Sorry, but it was 28° degrees with us this morning, stepping off the plane to 6° was not welcome.

Leathers away and textiles out from now then I guess.

Was cool to start but dressed for it so everything was fine. Temps got up to about 14degC so actually got quite hot under the layers. Great ride with Phil the elder. Cautious progress at times with slime under trees etc but very good progress made when conditions allowed - we had fun


Regarding my upcoming period of non biking........



......."I'll be back".........very soon

Wishing you quick & routine op followed by a fast recovery Brian.

good luck with it Brian

Cheers for organising today's ride Brian. It was 'Chillio' first thing but warmed up pretty quick and some good progress was made . . . . . . I love Devon country roads .

Crazy over there this time of year isn't it.
Last year in the Picos it was similar, 2 DegC first thing and 26 by later afternoon.
