must have been difficult deciding whether to bike or sail Ruth, it looks like there's a bit of breeze combined with sun, perfect

Very breezy. White caps on the water and only sail boarders out this afternoon. No difficulties deciding on which bike though. The 749S is perfect. I was actually thinking, riding home that, if I had to, I could do away with the other two. Except that I'll need the Monster for bad weather and heavily laden days and I'll need the 996 as the icon and dream bike, even if I don't ride her much.

Sharpy, I do count myself incredibly lucky, every day. Whatever is or isn't going on work wise, going out on any bike is always a thrill for me and on a day like today abolutely top notch.

Keith, I don't plan to sell the 996 unless I get an offer I can't refuse. May have to sell the house but definitely not the bikes

Certainly was a nice day to be out on the bike, sadly I spent all day plus a couple of hours overtime at work, in it up to my neck.
Still it was a pleasent ride to work on a nice fresh morning, ride home was a bit hectic as the overtime had landed me right in the height of rush hour.

Still made up for it later with a ride over to the Englands Rose, sadly no other DSCers there (boring lot) but there were 8 other bikers there, a couple of them I knew. So after a bite to eat I ended up outside chating on a lovely Balmy evening before enjoying a spirited ride home.

Wish I could have got out in the sunshine as you did Ruth, the pics make it look like the middle of June

Nice post Ruth.
I wish I could get out week days for a blast,but I'm usually a bit busy with work/family stuff.
I did manage a short blast today tho,....a kinda abridged version of the 4 Counties ride I lead the BHCN on ,from time to time.Roads were fairly empty,..bike was awesome,...weather was great.
Got back home and cracked open a Stella,...lovely.Here's a pic,...apologies if it been on here before.
