Been a slow couple of months this year
« on: May 25, 2026, 05:49:03 PM »


Not getting in many rides.
Several things going on - and once I get a new pup I think things will improve.

My daughter said, "I know where that is - you stopped in the middle of the intersection to take that shot didn't you?!"
"I don't remember..."

man, I understand a slow start to the season...I got my first May ride in last week. Not even sure if I rode once or twice in April? If at all?

Summer just showed up, too. Temps in the upper 80's (~30 C) this week. Not sure if I'm ready for that.

Had a good few ride outs, but this week it's been around the 30C mark and I've been reluctant to climb into all the gear in a 25C garage!!  No chance now as we're off to a Greek Island tomorrow to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary - and they said it would never last!
Regards & ride safe,

Congratulations, Neil! That's certainly a milestone. Take a few pics for us (of the islands).
