24deg F.. so -4 for you guysSkub wrote: Thu Nov 10, 2022 4:43 pm It's really mild here at the mo. 16 degrees today,in November ffs. The problem is,it's also wet and windy,slimy roads covered in wet leaves,etc. I don't do that anymore.
Saturday or Sunday is looking more positive for a short ride,I'll get a coffee shop shot if it is.

Re: The riding challenge game. Pic of your bike 'somewhere'
Wife said 'It's a bit parky' to someone recently and he said 'What's that mean'. I thought it must be that he's a southern softie but wife (who is, but I thought she picked it up from me) said it's a southern term too.

Re: The riding challenge game. Pic of your bike 'somewhere'
If the current challenge was "your bike under a blanket in the garage" we'd have loads of entries. I'd have two of them 
Has there been a "your bike with someone famous" challenge yet?

I want little in life, but I have to admit my own theme tune (leitmotif if you're being fancy) wouldn't be terrible.
