Definitely!  I will tell the staff to expect you...!...but seriously,  it would be good to have a post Covid gathering somewhere.  

Cheers,  Steve

Almost enough melt today but still not safe. Someone dumped some kittens on the road in front of our farm and I spent the day chasing pussy cats instead of riding. 

Did I ride? No, nope but sometimes that's okay. 

Shortest day of the year, so this little one has been named Solstice.

I did ride today.......the Super Tenere as it hasn’t been ridden for almost three weeks.  I could hear the T700 and Tracer GT whining as I left for the ride.

Wow! That was awesome.  What an effort to get that big horse back.

Exhausted me just watching it.

Thanks 😊 

that looked like a beating! one thing I have learned from being pulled from race tracks...keep the brakes on so the line never slacks.

The ice finally melted enough to get from my lane to a hard pack road.

There are pockets of very slick frost even on the gravel making it iffy especially with winds of up to 50mph today. 52 degrees now but will make a quick change and temps will drop to single digits before midnight. 

Great to get out and ride for a bit.

Might be more than I want to deal with when the temperature gets brutal. 

Tree limbs dropping all over the place so I'm hoping we don't lose power but I do have a wood stove and booze. 

Cheers 🍻

Bit of footage from yesterday's ride 17 riders, not  my video. Taken on a new 1250gs with 80/ 20 tyres. This section has  many  sand traps and rocks! Not that evident on the  footage.
