Hello! Not sure which bike you're referring to. :hmmm:

I was staying in Wooler, Northumberland at the time. Did Lindisfarne, Bramber, Kielder Forest, The Borders and Hadrian's Wall.

Spent over 6 hours out on the bike today. I was ready to get off!

The Mid Antrim road races were being held today,so I decided to go mid afternoon. When I arrived at Clough village,the road was open and no racing. Around the back of the circuit I stopped and spoke with some of the club who were clearing up. Turns out the local paramilitaries decided no one was racing today and poured oil,threw nails and broken glass over the course,as a result it all had to be cancelled.

I felt so sorry for the boys who gave up their time and the money it cost to stage the event. It's a club that's never been blessed with too much cash.

Unbelievable.

P.S. I'm from Cloughmills, 2 miles up the road. A long time ago.

That sucks so bad! I can't believe people still do that kind of shit - especially after the last couple of years of difficulties for so many. :angry-cussingblack:

I keep forgetting to take a photo of the bike 'somewhere'!! TBF, riding has been a bit stressful the last couple of weeks but I think I've cracked the issue and today, whilst still a smidge stressful, much much more enjoyable :D :D :D :bblonde: :bblonde:

Given that it isn't the first time it's happened, I somehow doubt that that is the reason this time - but a good excuse?

I doubt two minutes' silence would have sufficed.

Outside my friend's shop in Bourg St Maurice. Aces ride down, not so happy back up (bike and me ok, others not so much :( :( )

Loving these sunny autumn days - although I do need to lose a handful of pounds to get into some warmer trews if I'm gonna keep riding when I'm cat sitting :o :o :lol: :lol: :lol:
