And it's Hot Hot Hot here !!!!!!!!

Jill and me had a good old week Touring Scotland, all the way up to the Highlands to Wick etc ( by car not Bike) the weather Monday pm onwards was very hot every day, we got back home on Friday night approx 8pm. Saturday was a chill out day to a degree & catch up with a few bits to do at home. Sunday was bike day, Jill & me had ride out for a few miles (no snaps today sorry). We clocked 183 miles on the trip from start to finish, although it was very Hot today the wind was a bit of a pain, but did not deter our trip out to Skipton, Colne and back home......

Out for a short BIMBLE ......

Good day off today, out this morning on the Cycle for 31 miles Training ( pedal power . Back home this afternoon then out on the GT Sprint up to Squires cafe for a Coffee, Gosh was it busy there today, loads of stalls and masses of Bikers (camping) there for a meet up. Here are a few snaps of some BAD BOYS that were there...weather was good for it also. For some reason the Scotoiler pn my bike decided to stop working so back to the dealer next weekend if it don't work 2moro......

This Trike was Massive & Brand new at 22K UK money, I was chatting to the owner and next week he is off round Europe on it and his 1st stop is Bastogne in Belgium where me & Phil went last year on our Euro Trip 2011.

Just, Out !!!!!!

An arranged meet up with Phil & his wife today at Glossop near Manchester. Me & the wife popped in to Doncaster to collect the Hi-Viz vest that was having the Zipper repaired then off we went heading over the hill's & far away to meet up at Glossop at the Wren's Nest Pub. We bobbed in to Barnsley, Pennistone, Holmfirth then Stalybridge before coming to the Wren's Nest. Once we we're riding up on the top of the Pennine Hill's the temperature dropped very quickley down to approx 4 or 5 deg's on the bike it felt like 1deg. Thank Godness my GT 1050 has got heated grips. Phil & Min arrived, we had a drink then the Carvery & another drink then off it was down to Bakewell ( Famous for the BAkewell Tart/Pudding ). Once we managed to get parked up in to the town for another drink, just to warm up then seen as time was cracking on Jill & me set off home & just got in before the rain started, filled up the GT on the way home & worked out that we was getting 52 mpg today which ain't too bad considering the hill's we have been up & down today. Roll on next week now....

Phil, Doing well I don't know what !!!!!!

Min & Phil....

This was taken at the coffee shop in Bakewell.

Managed to get out on the GT 2night with the wife. We had a little run up to Squires Bikers Cafe at Sherburn, but By Golly Be Jingo it was more than windy on the motorway up there. Any way, 2 meals later & a wander round the shop & also meeting up with some one I'd not seen for about 10 years we then headed back home via my parents house before it got dark. Parked the Blue Girl back in the Garage until Saturday !!!!! but they have forecast cool weather here for the weekend and in areas - degs !!!!!! Mad......
