My perfect day. Just me, a bike, glorious sunshine, perfect temperature, a bottle of Orange Fanta and fantastically quiet Lincolnshire roads to ride on.

We have finally come out of lockdown and went out over Saddleworth today before the rain tomorrow. Kept well away from everyone.  ;D

Got out finally yesterday as the weather was due to change today, quick trip up the Wirral but hit the car queues to the seaside areas so turned back inland, no ice cream this time. As usual the bike ran better than me.

Cheers

 For the first time in months, I  went on a rideout of sorts. There was a full blown bikers funeral (no one I know) , complete with sidecar hearse.  There must have been over a 1000 riders in attendance.   It's a shame that it takes a funeral to give us an excuse to get out on the bikes.  We're thinking that with a full tank of juice,  a flask of coffee and a pasty, we can have an enjoyable 60 miles, be socially distant, and have some sense of normality.

The weather has been unexpectedly good here this morning so it would've been rude not to get out on the 550 for a bimble around the parish.

Glorious day here in Lincolnshire, so a nice ride out. I took Millie the Mongrel and Graham was on the K6.  Stopped at Southrey on the River Witham. Disused railway line now and a footpath from Woodhall Spa to Lincoln. The platform is stiil there with the original bricks.

Out on the 500 yesterday. Just a run around about 50mls..and out on the little RD today about 40mls.

Both fun.but so different.

Hope the weather gets better again and I can cover some miles.

At least like yourself, we are getting some rides in John..... I always think life feels so much better being out and about on 2 wheels 😊😊
