It's been dry and sunny mostly for some time,but yesterday was the first day with any heat. There's a stiff North wind and 13 degrees today,but at least it's dry.

Technically they are wind turbines as they generate electricity, a windmill uses wind to grind flour.

No, I'm only being pedantic, I have to be checking safety documentation at work and occasionally it rubs off elsewhere .........sorrySkub wrote: ↑Mon Jun 21, 2021 3:30 pmOops!MingtheMerciless wrote: ↑Mon Jun 21, 2021 3:07 pmTechnically they are wind turbines as they generate electricity, a windmill uses wind to grind flour.

Re: The riding challenge game. Pic of your bike 'somewhere'
I don't care if the same people win week in week out... We can only encourage people to ride bikes, we can't force them.
It is sometimes slightly amusing though how few people contribute to this thread in terms of pics. You'd never think it was a motorbike forum at times
