bippo Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Not out on my bike unfortunately... Over to the North York Moors in the Landy to give the dog a good walk. Great roads, so I was a little jealous seeing all the bikes out... Glad to hear you got out though Tommy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meatloaf Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Yep got out today, went to some of the family on the south coast, really just an excuse for a ride out. My normal route is a bit boring so I set the sat nav and then road east in the wrong direction for about 15 miles then followed the sat nav, absolutely brilliant took me along roads I didn't even know were there and found some really nice country roads with nice curves and no tragic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slice Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Nope couldn't go out yesterday as it was my 40th wedding anniversary and SWMBO would be annoyed if I trooped off for the day, but TODAY oh yes the suns shining and I'm out for the first time since the MOT, then Thursday off to Portsmouth to see the parents, looking forward to a long ride out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted April 6, 2015 Moderator Share Posted April 6, 2015 Nope, with drewpy on garden duty shifting rubbish preparing to terrace the current tip and turn it into a second patio area as its a 100% sun trap, plus service the car, plus fit the caravan mover (needed because of replacing the car) then today now got my jobs done, were going out for the afternoon. Bike, er, that black thing covered in dust in the garage?? Be glad to get back to work for a rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouch Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Been out two days on the trot now and really enjoyed it. The Yorkshire countryside is amazing. Can't remember the last time i went out for a ride just for the pleasure of it. The weather this past year has been horrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted April 6, 2015 Moderator Share Posted April 6, 2015 You been somewhere else grouch. Hottest year since long way back, mildest winter for a while too. No snow for us southerners and not a lot if ice and frost. Now spring comes in with a bang. Long may it last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator drewpy Posted April 6, 2015 Moderator Share Posted April 6, 2015 aye, moved a ton of flags today, managed to spray a few bikes bits as well for good measure.

mailee Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Went to Willingham woods yesterday and then a ride out to Tattershall today. Lots of bikes out thought my head would fall off from nodding. Weather improved later in the afternoon today but it was a cold ride out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
