I had to take daughter to work today,as she stacked her car (again
) Up at 5am ffs,it's a long time since I've seen stupid o'clock.
The car was showing 4 degrees with the frosty symbol...in bloody August?
Anyway,I don't usually ride the bike on a Sunday,as the roads are clogged with all the nuisances of the day,but I was back at 7.30,so I thought I'd get an early run in,while the bastrids were still sleeping.
Thermal lining in jacket,thermal long johns and vest and for the first hour or so I was well glad of them. It's great to be able to stick your cold digits on a lovely warm engine too,I haven't had an unfaired bike for years,a bonus feature in our frozen wastelands.
If this global warming continues,I'll need to consider heated grips for future Summers.
Punched in about 3 hours riding and it even warmed up a bit heading home. Just in time to see all the convoys going the other direction.
Gloves heating in Ballycastle,looking out to Ratlin Island.
