Weather is feeling more early April rather than mid May, it's been a shocker for weather this year thus far. Rain everyday this week :angry-cussingblack:

Off to Czechia tomorrow. This afternoon it rained here for the first time this year. Pissed it down for two hours.
Looks like I'll be either riding behind, or just in front of, the rain tomorrow, all the way up to the Spain/France border. At least I hope I'll avoid it....

No rain today-sunshine most of the way, although cloudy for the last 100kms

697 kms covered. Riding to meet up with mates in Vichy tomorrow, via Millau.

Today was spent mostly battering round North Wales in the company of Abel, KHH, MAC, @Beancounter and a couple of other lads. Just under 300 miles on everything from fast open sweeping roads to nadgery twists onto single lane goat tracks covered in sheep shit ….. superb fun and pleased with my riding throughout the day in some very fast company

Bit of a misty start

Image

Soon brightened up though after a quick breakfast

Opportune place to pull in for a chat, we may have slightly obscured his view down the road ;)

Image

Good day had by all and took home a lot of Welsh wildlife on the front of the bike which I thought was a fair swap for the rubber left behind

There’s lovely ;)

I remember Easter tours with some of those guys, say hello to the ones that remember me.

I have been out for the first time this year, mostly taking it easy round the lesser travelled roads of Co Durham. I've lived up this way for 15 years and found places I've never been before just by saying "I wonder what's down that road?"

Went out at 9 this morning and it was bloody chilly :thumbdown: Still got my jacket lining in. Was going to go out earlier but then the feels like temp was 7C.

Did a big ol' Essex/Suffolk loop of 130 miles, sun came out for the second half and it was a good ride all in. Loads of bikes out and loads of sodding cyclists too :obscene-birdiedoublered:

As I was close on the way home I dropped in for a strafing run

Did a search for whereabouts I could find a massive anchor, but the nearest to me is a replica of the Titanic’s anchor in the centre of Dudley, and I wasn’t wasting a sunny Sunday riding over there.

So it’s just more photos of the English countryside beneath blue skies and white fluffy clouds.
Maybe it’s my age but I do really enjoy wending my way through roads that feel like they haven’t changed in years, with hardly any traffic, on a bike that sounds, looks and performs like it’s from another age.
