Snow ride on DRZ400

[david a hall]

Got fed up with not being able to ride the bike, so drenched it in spray oil and set off for an afternoons ride around Gloucestershire.

Leaving Home:

View of the vale:

View from the top of Frocester Hill:

Playing in the snow:

View of Uley Long Barrow:

Main roads weren't that bad :

Some sledgers:

View of Painswick Beacon:

Gritters didn't make it on the back roads:

Braving it without the satnav:

Couldn't work out why this guy was flagging me down...

....this might be why

Trails got a bit narrow and deep:

View of the trail:

My parents house, stopped for a cup of tea:

My dad was surprised to see me arrive, from the field:

Cup of tea and then a gentle ride home. 40 miles in all, then washed the bike and then smothered it in spray oil again. All in all, a good afternoons ride

Nice one David, looks like you had some fun, now how can I afford an off road bike as well as upgrade the Landy

Speaking of which, went for a lunchtime drive around some of the less clear roads in the Forest, nice to remind yourself just how good 4WD's go when driven correctly

Simples----just get an off roader. Best way to improve road skills IMHO
