Getting my bike back on the road so that I can ride through the winter with my mates. It might seem stoopid to some, but there's a few of us in the BHC region that ride regularly in winter. In fact, some of the best rides have been when it's a crisp and clear day in January or something. Fewer cars packed with sightseers, no caravans, no bugs to splatter your visor to nil visibility in ten miles and the chance to hone your riding skills to smoothness when the grip is less than plentiful. Oh, and a pie and pint in a nice warm pub tastes brilliant when you've got a little chilly |
