That's a good looking place Neil but a bit far for me to ride to :(

On the subject of rusty bikes, how about this one?

I was thinking that'd be an ideal bike for me to take on Jim one of the little 80 mile country pootles he does . I reckon I could match him on that most of the way 'round.
I take it that's the petrol tank on the front and the nitrous kit on the rear rack :lol:

In TT racing action last evening on the Hanslope F5z/10 course :D
53053221901_76847f03db_o.jpg
I'm on the brakes there as I'm approaching a T junction at the foot of a long, fast descent...

The course was a bit busy in parts due to the M1 being closed and people rat-running on part of pour course. It was quite amazing to ride across two M1 overbridges and see the motorway totally empty and devoid of all traffic!

Had I not been racing I'd have stopped and taken a few pictures of this unusual event...
