First European bike tour for a few years. Chuffed as fuck.

I hope you used your club card vouchers!

I've booked the ferry to Spain this week for a bit of Pyrenees action, where are you heading in Fronch?

Nah, I'm a Sainsbury's whore.

Off to do some Alps passes - so bit of Switzerland bit of France apparently

Say hi to the N560(?) from me

N260 even. It's been a while

I have spotted the N260 on google maps, looks good.

Mate, if you haven't done it, you HAVE to. It's epic!

Shout when you’re here - Alps passes and Switzerland means near me!! And if it’s after 11 June (crossing fingers), I have a spare room and will tidy up!!!

Ooo! I'll check the route

Picking roomie up from LAX at 6pm, she's about to take off from Denver after leaving Littlerock this morning. It's gonna be the pupsters first trip to LAX which will probably be an event...

Pretty much been housebound for 11 days, I think I left the house 4 times over that time. I got a shit-ton of errands to run tomorrow...

Wednesday evening, but only got around to posting now.

. . "Nice"

Put a new plug in the Himalayan, made quite a surprising difference to the fuelling, much cleaner at the bottom end. I think the old one might have been the 25k old original one

Did my first accidental wheelie in about 20 years

Was out running a couple of errands on the GPz11 this afternoon. Stopped by the local brewery for a quick sherbert on the way home. Three guys standing in the bike parking area blocking the last spot. They realize I'm going to park there whether they move or not, they move.
One of them compliments the bike, then immediately follows up with "Ya ever had any bad accidents?"


Which deserved my riposte of "I woke up next to your mom one morning..."

That took the wind out of his sails & his two mates ripped him apart for asking the question.

Got up early

Actually got drugs I'd requested last night (instead of the wrong ones the night before) and slept really well

Up early as I said I'd go walking with one of the other inmates this morning - it's too hot to go later in the day

So currently enjoying breakfast by my open window with some fresh air - the window will have to be closed soon and then that's it for the day

But right now, it's lovely

Ridden my push iron for the first time in five years.

Drove up to Passo Rolle in the Dolomites to do some walking. Never knew the road was so good (SS50).
A Mecca for bikes of all sorts. Made a mental promise to do it on two wheels, not a diesel Citroën C3.

Went out on the 848. Got stuck at some temp traffic light and realised the termis under the seat get rather warm...

I passed that once and never knew it was a pass. Probably 20 miles north as the crow flies i was staying in Arabba for four night on a bike tour. A day the group were doing nothing i went out for a jolly. Before sat navs i had a route in my head and got lost (More than once) I was out all day stopping and looking at my Michelin map or asking directions. Fantastic biking area what i always wanted to go back to but never had the opportunity.

I did one about a month ago and almost shit myself Opened it up to pass traffic but only on the brow of a hump in the road. Probably only lifted the front a foot high but you dont want to loose face so probably passed two cars like that

Went to see a mates band play at the local VFW this evening. Bumped into a gal I know who is freshly single & wants to go riding again.

Then got hit on by a pair of Mexican sisters who I will be seeing again on Sunday.

The ordeal of having a Brit accent in the US...

I'd filtered to the front at some lights. Looked down, looked up and they'd changed to green so I gave it some beans, and the next thing I knew I was aloft

I'd always planned on using this bike to learn to wheelie, so y'know, it's a step in the right direction

Went to a wedding fayre. Lovely day out and got some things sorted out sensibly, unlike this bunch who wanted to charge that for a minimum spend!
