Skippy

I did proper fuck all today according to my wife. I cleaned the bike, went and bought some wood for the log burner, propane for the central heating and then sat down and watched some TV. I also took the dogs out walking twice today but because she came with me that doesn’t count apparently? I’d say that’s a pretty full day. I don’t plan on doing that much tomorrow as it’s a Sunday. ?

That’s the seafront at the port before loads of upgrades etc. The other place you’re referring to is t empty it’s got a much higher occupancy rate than any other urbanisation. A few parts have subsidence issues.

Not that many considering, it’s pretty much an old mining community so plenty of full-time locals. Many of the holiday homes are owned by the Spanish from Madrid, Albacete, Murcia City and Cartagena.

There’s about 20 or so municipalities within the Murcia region that are under the lockdown but thankfully Mazarrón isn’t one of them. However to reach some of the others that are okay you’d need to cross those that are out of bounds which screws things up somewhat. It is what it is.

Or if you do please take some photos and post them on here so you can be properly ridiculed ?

That’s true.......they are beyond gay. ???

Very popular with the gay community apparently. ?

Ah see that’s why it went over my head! ?

Eh?

Bollox to that Pete, sometimes you’ve got to acknowledge the limit of your patience ????

Mmmm not exactly sure, probably about 1990. She also held my car as ransom until I gave her half the equity in the house. About two months after I got it back a mate of mi e was in the passenger seat and pulled the sun visor down to find a note that said “this is my seat you bitch” ? I had to pull over as me and him nearly pissed ourselves laughing. Just for the record there was no ‘bitch’ ???

When my ex moved out of our house she crushed cereals into the carpets and took the hoover, peeled all the labels off the tins of food so I had no idea what was in them and removed all the lightbulbs. She also took every stick of furniture apart from some beach chairs in the garage and a crappy old TV. Mind you, it was a small sacrifice to get her out of the house ???

A couple of the blokes I go riding with down here have a friend doing it this year. He’s a privateer and it certainly takes some commitment to raise the funds, an unwavering determination to push on when the going gets tough and, of course, a shit load of ability. Keep your eye out for No84 Neil Hawker. He did it last year but had an accident that prevented him from continuing.

I went for Michelle’s photo as the colours are so dramatic. It just happens to have a Himalayan in it but that Dominatir pic ran it close for me.

Now THATS a photo! Stunning. Just give her the prize now ??

It’s deceptive but the bike was on a slope and the ground was a bit soft so made it difficult to use the centre stand.

See, I knew I should have paid more attention at school ???

Been out two days on the trot mate so today it’s Port, cheese and biscuits. I couldn’t ride even if I wanted to hic, hic! ???????????????

No idea mate it all depends on time etc

Did all the boring admin shit today so Sunday is bike day for me. I’m dragging the bastard bike from hell out and the plan is to ride the TL1000S to Calasparra via Lorca and Caravaca. There will be a few of us so I’m sure it’ll be lively!! Yeeeeeehar!???

I wish but I was more interested in saving my leg. Vicious fucking things and very big. Well, medium sized really. Okay, they were only small but had a big attitude. ?

This was just before the goat herders dogs went mental and lunged at me. Fuckers. ?

Here’s mine from today and it’s also a view from the cockpit so two for the price of one! ?

Here you go, it’s a Facebook group. ? https://www.facebook.com/crixusmotorsport/

So folks, if anyone fancies a trip out on the local trails in south east Spain once this pandemic shite is over with then maybe give Crixus Motorsport a shout. Proper good blokes with a wealth of knowledge and they can tailor their trips to whatever you need. Nothing in it for me, just helping out a couples of good mates.
