Pretty much. You don't need to go very far south or west to be in Derbyshire.

Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
It rained last night and early morning,so by the afternoon the wind had dried the now salt free roads. It's to be settled and pleasant the next few days,so what's the odds of them re-gritting tonight to spoil the fun again? A bog cert,I'd say.
On the plus side,the council have named a street after me,cause I'm such a cool person.

Tis a cracker day today and fuck my old boots,if the council didn't bother with the gritter for once. I wanged in a very enjoyable couple of hours on the B and I'll maybe take another dig at it after lunch too.

Had a lovely few hours on the Street Triple earlier,I enjoyed it so much that I went out again for a spin just around sunset.
Theyr'e not to everyone's taste but I've grown to love the look of the 'Dame Edna'


After yesterdays rain the salt seems to have been washed away
