I just couldn't resist 😁😁😁
The sun was shining, it was a very pleasant 17° so I took Kitty for a lovely long ride.
Looks like weather will break within the next couple of days so probably the last ride on Kitty before she goes into winter storage. This year I've done well over 2000 miles on Kitty, about the same on Millie the Mongrel and about 1500 miles on the CD250u, so they are all well and truly ridden and not hidden 😊😊😊. What a great summer it's been for riding. I'm already looking forward to next year. The little CD250u will be the winter hack and I will have no excuses for not doing the housework now 😂😂😂

Lovely bike Julie. I'm envious of you getting out for a ride on a beautiful day.
I've just moved house and the new one needs lots of work to do it up. My bikes are in storage while I work on the house and a dreaded concrete garage. ☹

No riding for me at the moment.  😢

Lovely morning out and about ..... all the better that yesterdays mechanical tinkering didn't seem to have caused any negative effects :)

You mean Monyash? great roads in that vicinity. There's a section of road near Crowdecote that reminds me of that hill in San Francisco that they used in films a lot. The one with the tight bends coming down a steep hill.

There's a good cafe in Monyash that my son says makes great bacon sarnies, never stopped myself, I'm in the groove when I'm near there and just want to find as many corners as I can so I can get my knee down. Silly I know but bends have always done it for me.
