bippo Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Hey all! So I've finally done it - gone out for a weekend ride in the glorious weather! Since picking my bike up a couple of weeks ago, I've simply strolled down to the shops or gone out for a local jaunt for practise seeing as I've never ridden before. Anyway, around family commitments, I had a few free hours today, and how could I resist this weather?! So I've just come back from a 90 mile ride around some glorious roads. For those who know the area, I went over Woodhead Pass and around Holmfirth / Penistone and then back towards my house, out over Snakes Pass, down to Castleton and over Winnats Pass before ending up in Chapel-on-le-Frith and back up into Glossop. No dramas, just great views and a lot of bugs flying into my visor! This is what riding is all about... :-)

veteranix_2 Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 40º Celsius, countryside along Cordoba Province (Argentina), Route 8 going to Mendoza/Chile... chewing suicidal butterflies, and a nice grasshoper appears sleeping on the road... An example.
