...just in time for a rainy ride through France... we’re drowning here in the Dordogne... ride safe!
Late emerging biker - took the first bike plunge at 50 with a 12GT : swapped for a 13S 9 months in... then got my mitts on a lovely 2014 13R Dynamic in rrrrrracing rrrrred! Then the COVID came along... so I upped it to France and bought a V85TT... O Sole Mio etc etc!

Back in the UK today, staying in Newmarket overnight before leaving for home tomorrow morning. It's been a long but enjoyable trip, the weather has been amazing with only a couple of hours worth of rain the whole trip. It looks like this will change tomorrow  :(

We had a very very very wet journey home from Newmarket yesterday and it was nice to get home. we covered 2662 miles door to door on the little jaunt. I'm sure Melanie already has some ideas for next year  ???

Are you going on a cruise??

It felt like we were on a cruise yesterday  ;D

I think Melanie might have Portugal in her sights or maybe the Pyrenees.

Don't the two go together rather nicely?
