The wife's on about going to the garden centre in Caniles but I'm going to try and switch that to today if possible.

Tym Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 We had 8 inches of rain from the storm, i would like to get out to see how much water is still about. Its called Labour Day Weekend here, bank 3 day weekend 'Oliday type chit with monday being the off day....last weekend of "summer" for New England. The last tropical storm took the life of a Connecticut State Trooper who was swept off a bridge and drowned, so some friends of mine arnt doing that great today, Duty, the biggest four letter word in the English language.. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasshopper Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 The weather feels like October already around here. Most of the tourists have started to go home now and the Coast is slowing down again. Got out for a short ride on Charlotte today. Hopefully out on Bagheera tomorrow. It is a long weekend here, so I have an extra day of fun. Have a good weekend everyone! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTreme Posted September 4, 2021 Author Share Posted September 4, 2021 Looks like this new gig is going to take a bit longer than I initially thought......so I doubt I'll be out today. Tomorrow definitely though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooN Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 having got back from a wee road trip up north on wednesday I'll mostly be putting out tent and sleeping bag to air for a while before being put away again properly. I need to take the bike for a wash so I'll get out a bit and then replace the rear left indicator which, having tried 4 different repair techniques, only 1 of which lasted more than a few hours, I can now change out in about 10 minutes with my eyes closed, Oh Yeah, kids have started back to school yesterday so there's a whole pile of paperwork to fill in... twice 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno mate, I've been away for 10 days and my phone is switched off... When I left on the 23rd, the US booking we had for september were cancelling. the UK bookings were cancelling as well as it is just too complicated and expensive to get back into the UK once you've been away. ( i wanted to go back for my Mum's 90th birthday last week with the kids but with 5 people the cost of the testing alone was approaching 800€ !) The French holiday season ends abruptly on the 1st weekend of september so unless something has radically changed I imagine it will be quiet when I go back on monday. wht's going to happen this winter is anybody's guess. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Went to the beach today, but unfortunately no bikes involved. Weather is looking a bit shit for the next week or so, so runs on the bike may be limited then too! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

September can get very wet, Pete. I keep getting adverts on Facebook from the government giving advice on what to do and how to prepare for flooding, so I'm guessing that we're in for some pretty wild weather coming up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Fallsalot Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Had a great ride today but only took a few photos Stopped here waiting for the rest of the group to come back as they went the wrong way. I done this lane a few months ago and thought it was for the first time That was until i got to this barn, once i saw the dummies in the windows it all came back to me but it was probably 12 years ago the last time i done it No idea what the the story is about them or if there is a story Only other photo is of Yoshi fixing a front puncture he done it in 10 minutes unfortunately it went flat again towards the end of the ride. There was plenty with Gopros on so might get some videos later 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Had a great ride today on the Himalayan.
