OUT AND ABOUT 2023
« on: January 01, 2023, 01:52:47 PM »
Happy New Year everyone.
Managed a few very pleasant hours out on the winter hacks today. More than one layer of clothing required but no rain gear needed 😂😂😂 Hope everyone has an enjoyable and safe 2023.

There were about only about 15 bikes in total when we arrived. 9 of them left in 1 group then it looked very empty. A few were coming down the road when we left though. Not many hardy bikers left these days, or they are worried about getting their bikes dirty 😂😂😉😂

I'd only be worried about the road salt, washing that brine off upon returning home...  ???

The roads were mainly wet around here Phil. But, we had such a deluge of rain here yesterday it washed all the salt and mud off of the roads so they weren't too bad.

A few bikes out near me today...it's chilly and my Volvo has two wheels (if viewedfrom the side ...). On the plus side, I'm only a few miles from I AM Duxford so was there today
 to view the Hurricane exhibition- 7 of the world's  14 flying planes in one (large) room.

Dead jealous would have really loved to see the Hurricane exhibition as I am a big fan of the Hurricane, but alas is a bit far for us to go.

I've a bicycle with single sided front fork that usually causes quite a bit of consternation and draws comments when I'm stopped around others. 
Often asked "aren't you afraid it's going to fall off?" To which I reply "I'm saving up to buy the other half" that doesn't shake them all off though, one with more in depth enquiry I pointed out that all cars have their wheels mounted on one side, he puzzles about it and replied " Aaaaah! but they've got a wheel on the other side though" satisfied with that he departed, no flies on that fella  ;D

We once went down to Duxford for a couple of days in 2010, stayed at the Duxford lodge, had a great time, you could probably spend longer there as there is so much to see.
Here's me doing a Biggles impression.
