A lovely UCR (unclassified county road) looking down towards Shepton Mallet........ The next couple of lanes were a tad 'moist' after all the recent rain.......... Morning Girls , this lot made me chuckle...........

Now we've had a fair bit of rain recently so I was trying to decide whether or not to do the next lane. You have to ride in a stream for about 400yds and it can get deep but I decided to go for it. Unfortunately the photos are crap as the sun was coming though the bushes and one more narrow lane down over the hill to Stanton Prior before heading home..............

Next I dropped down over Ubley Drove where you get a great view of Blagdon Lake......... and then some more old lanes that I haven't ridden for about 5 years, it was good to ride these local lanes again..... Then I did the climb up Guy's Hill. This photo is taken from the top looking down (you have to ride back down it) but it doesn't do justice to the steepness of this lane. It's a great climb over rocks and tree routes but can be a real bitch when it's wet.......

Onto an old Drove Way on the Mendip Hills near Priddy........ This lane was well overgrown, this is what happens when you restrict the lanes from vehicular use, they get overgrown and then no one can use them

So I was out of the door by 07.00 yesterday as I was going to ride some local lanes and some of them are a bit contentious so best to go when no one else is around First lane is about 15 mins from my house and is always good to wake you up as you ford a stream first then it's a climb up over babies-head size rocks, then it levels out and is easy going......... Then down through Ringspit which has a width restriction on it to try and stop the 4x4's from trashing it........ and then onto some of the 'naughty' lanes . I've ridden these for over 40 years and I'm not going to stop just because some twats in the gubberment say you can't anymore

Usual thing! An OAP wobbling about on a Parts Bin Special in the middle of nowhere surrounded by buildings that look like they've been bombed. What is unusual though is the tiny Chapel I found in Los Pollos de Celda! No idea why it's there because there's nothing else around there for miles. This sort of bewildering logic is normal for Spain!

I love this old sign on the climb up from Croscombe, you know if you see that sign then the lane is going to be good...... and time for a coffee stop, I am saving a fortune during these Covid times by taking my own flask and sandwiches ? and

Just about to leave for some Rugged Individualism! No Dark Motorcycling today as such......though there will be abandoned buildings that look like they've been bombed showing up along the way. Sometimes I think that most of the interior of Spain has been abandoned......I'm sure it's nothing to do with me coming here in 2005 though. Just coincidence!3 points

So i park my KLR in front so i can look at it and next door a blonde chick lays out a towel on the porch of the BB takes almost all her clothes off and is now getting a tan... oh boy...to be fair i do still glance back at the KLR...kinda...3 points

It was bound to happen, and in the end all is well and lessons have been learned. Bagheera has a few new scratches, but only on the protective gear I put on him, which is cool. I was nervous about falling on a rocky hill and how I would handle it. Sure, I sound a bit silly and the dismount is not the most graceful, yet slightly comical, I did managed to turn around on a steep hill and if I hadn't slowed down so much, I would have made it. As they say, momentum is your friend!2 points

Andalucia was one of the last strongholds against the Fascists! For a wrecked village (it's in the north) this is the place to visit: Belchite!2 points

I did 100 miles all in, roads and trails. None of the trails are long so you have to do a bit of roadwork inbetween.2 points

Plenty of brambles there! Rather you than me. Excellent RR. Great photos.2 points

Absolutely brilliant Bob........not the sort of terrain you'd find me on obviously.........but about this "ride in a stream for about 400yds and it can get deep" business?2 points

And as with any Mexican dinner, copious amounts of watery Mexican beer is required. I always have their version of a dark beer to give it a bit more flavor; Negro Modelo. Couple of pics of the interior of the restaurant; don't wanna go in here during an acid trip...

Got more people on FaceButt saying I should start a Tour company. Is is that bad in Britain now that a few photos of ruins with an ugly Strom in front of them is somehow inspirational?1 point

For such a small bike it's bloody heavy Pete, 199kg before you start bolting stuff on as a comparison the DR650 is 166kg1 point

Yesterday I went to Lisbon and Cabo da Roca, just took a few pictures. Lisbon, my bike in front of a wall of super heros. Went for a coffee there, exactly the place where I used to pick Maria up from work. Then made my way to Cabo da Roca, continental Europe's westernmost place. The roads here are quite famous amongst Lisbon bikers, and quite chaotic in the weekends. I love lighthouses, my absolutely favourite buildings. Great roads, only a little frustrating because of very slow moving tourist traffic in very twisty roads. Lunch was a little too fishy for your tastes, but in a very cool restaurant. I had been feeling like going there for ages and finally did.

Today's lunch; I had the Black Sabbath burger at Kuma's Bar, others had sloppy assed burgers with mac and cheese (not my fave) all topped off with a couple of beers. My bud Clint took the leftovers home to his dogs....

All very nice bags, but after riding with a backpack for years I wouldn't do again unless I lived in a city and had a street bike. For adventure riding, I find the backpack way too hot and I'm not really into falling with a load of stuff on my back, especially camera gear, ouch....1 point

Welcome to my new series: The Back Way Around™®®®®®®™! First up.... Mystic Connecticut. The best part is this trip avoids Mystic Piza's crap smell. If you want a sound track for some god knows(wind noise) reason, pic a song and turn your speakers up. That free internet musac people use nowdays sucks! Free internet musac-}1 point

WOW, a thread just for me, thanks as indeed I’m always curious as to what people eat in other places. Chilli is just great1 point

Wife wanted to visit friends so I came along to hang out. She has hundreds of thousands of flying points and I have a Buddy Pass where I can fly anywhere she does for free; so the flights costs us nothing. She works for Marriott so we get rooms for free as well. Makes for cheap travel. So we often go to cities around the US for weekends just to hang out.1 point

Wife wanted to go to the garden centre in Caniles........so we went on a bit further to revisit the abandoned railway station and bridge in Baul. Hell of a difference in the picture quality with this camera compared to the ones in my ride report a few months ago.

It is going to be really busy where I live, tourist everywhere, places they shouldn't be.....so I'm going to lay low for Saturday and then go adventuring on Sunday. Today was supposed to be the relaxing Friday ride, but turned into a "hey let's see what up there".....to "oh dear I'm not making it up this".....to "I'm down I'm down.....SHIT, so much for relaxing.....video to follow. Bagheera and the Grasshopper made it out, but without all the guards I have on Bagheera it could have been messy. ??1 point

@Pedro is always interested in what American foods we're eating so I decided to add a thread for him where I'll add food pics from time to time. Yesterday in Indianapolis, Indiana, I had lunch at a Skyline Chili restaurant. A Five Way and two cheese coneys. The Five Way consists of spaghetti pasta, chili with beans, onions and a small amount of cheese on top. Cheese coneys consist of the same chili over a small hot dog and again a smattering of cheese on top. The first thing I do when eating these is scrape about 2/3 of the cheese off. I mean I like cheese but wholly crap!
