John I do envy your ability to be able to still travel abroad for some R & R.
Back in the day Wendy & I really enjoyed the Greek Islands, Zakinthis held some very special memories.
I was always torn between Cyprus & Crete.

I think this photo was taken sometime around 1995 in the days when we always hired a bike when on holiday as a car was beyond our budget.

Out today, first time this year,

Pleasant 12c,

Nice 500mile loop,

Quick visit to Wales,

Careful of the damp under the trees

The new BT46 seem to work well

500 mile loop! Early start then€? Best I ever managed was 990 miles in 22 hours. I was still late for work.

Not quite as warm as Spain but nonetheless a very pleasant ride today. I'm sure I saw snow forecast for some parts of the UK next week 🙄🙄🙄.

Same here with the heavy frosts but it's soon clearing in the morning sun. As much as I love snow, I could do without it now.

I used to love riding in the snow, especially when I was on early mornings and I was the first to ride through it.
This was before I could drive a car and only had the bike, nowadays unless there is a big big yellow thing in the sky and the sky is blue I do not go out on the bike.

Very Spring-like yesterday with dry roads and 12C. Went for a blat on the 400/4 which is running well apart from a high tickover when hot.
