.....and we have skipped autumn

Forecast for NW England
Sat 18 Sep

Evening temp somewhere between 2 degrees and 0 degrees.

And I, for one, am looking forward to it. Local trails may actually rideable soon as they begin to freeze over.
Bring on the hard ground frost!

    Got to love that North/South divide :-)

    Had a great 3 hour ride in the sun here, shorts and short sleeves and not a hint of mud anywhere.

    We had a glorious day yesterday, so I took the Blade for what is possibly it's last proper outing of the summer (weather and work permitting)

    Two friends had brand new bikes to put some run-in miles on (CBF1000 & CBR 600 RR) so we took a little trip out.

    The CBF started the day with 6 miles on the clock, the CBR 600 had 9 miles ended up with just over 230 miles a piece.

    Unlike after a day out on the the Epic, my legs are fine this morning, but fark me my wrists are aching.

  • Strangely, quite a few people commented how short this past weekend seemed.. I think it's the shorter days that make it seem that way

    Winter bike?

    No, we decided against that, it's a grand idea but sadly there's a certain few who can't resist being a knob and spoiling it for the rest.
  • Those CBF's are really heavy! Nice blade though, it's a shame that it's being tucked away!
