The lying, the itch and the wardrobe.

The lying - telling myself over and over that I had not really put that much weight on over the winter. The repeated poping of the buttons on my leathers telling me otherwise.

The itch - of finally getting out on the bike for the first time in ages today and also of the one supplied by the spider which had taken up residence in my helmet.

The wardrobe - not only shrinking all my gear over winter, but also managing to swallow my gloves! Sure I put them in there!

Oh well at least it was all worth it to get back out on the road even if it was baltic.

I also had a ride out this afternoon. Just to Hornsea and back.

Lovely day.

New Alpine boots - Comfy
Aldi wind proof pants - Worked a treat
New HG gloves - Superb fit and half price! :whoop:

Wee Mac here I come. Mind you it will probably rain!

One of the very best titles for a post I've seen . . . And the content (I've had a few wee beasties in me hat before now too) . . . Soooo true ! For us all

Ate a tin of beans before you left did you ??

Ellie,

wind from the outside not inside. Well for this time.

Hopefully not to be otherwise at Wee Mac.

Cheers 0ldcat, funny the things that go through your head whilst out riding!

Reminds me of the Billy Connolly story (below) from about 2minutes onwards.
