Today was a challenging day, some tough trails, loose long climbs with baby head rocks in places. Just me and Phil today as Sarge had succumbed to the lurgy . I’m feeling a bit second hand at the moment as I looped the bike on one climb, landed on my back and head but my helmet did a great job The afternoon made up for it though with some beautiful scenic trails

Yamaha have then but they’re hex on the outside so you can still get a decent socket/bit on them .

Torx are the spawn of the devil

It’s a difficult situation for sure. Im lucky as my wife encourages me to go a lot of the time. Even if she wanted to ride pillion it’s not going to happen as one of us nearly always has to be there for our son. id go stir crazy if I couldn’t get away now and again

It’s a Trail tech striker, very good looking but keeps failing in the rain so it’ll be coming off when I get home

We then did some trails until we got down to the river Lot and then headed back to Jax Shack

We made it out to do some trail riding today but without leader as he was poorly. So we downloaded the GR652 into our GPS and off we went, the main bonus was that it was nice and sunny today. and then it was time for a coffee break

That’s coming on nicely Ray

Does it rear steer

Too many puddle dodgers in Spain What you say @Slowlycatchymonkey

We were riding in rain for 3 days so I’m sure you know what that’s like

Maintenance day today

No photos from today as it pissed down all day. At Jax Shack now, fed and watered. Raining again tomorrow so it’ll be a maintenance day

Met my mate at Nevers, I’d booked a Chambre d’hotes which turned out to be ace

Did a couple of trails but a long day and got drowned in the last 10 kms

Met Chris @MooN yesterday for a sandwich

Your fine then , right on the border of Dorset. watch out for the women with 6 fingers

Gay

Where in Wiltshire? I need to put out a scroate alert

I’m not holding my breath, you only go 10 miles from home (weather permitting) of course

I gave him a call earlier, a lot will depend on the weather but he’s also busy. Hopefully I may be able to meet him at work sometime around lunchtime tomorrow

In total I suppose they add up to approx 40-45 kms. Some were closed for refurbishment and there were others I could have ridden. looks like it’s another soaking tomorrow 🌧

So today was what you might call an adventure. I’ve been looking forward to riding the pave (cobbled) roads for three years now and they didn’t disappoint. The weather however was something else, when it rains in France it feckin rains, none of this namby pamby stuff. I’m sat in an Irish bar in Compiegne now having a couple of pints of Guinness
