Both our bikes are back home , Julies F650gs has had some TLC and new Wilburs shocks , mine has had a service all done by Mike (Overland and Classic) . So we ummed and ahhhed about taking them out for a few hours. I have a bad back but with painkillers and bodybelt, well it had to be done.
Quite cool and damp out so loads of layers , still snow around on Burbage, makes it feel much colder. We stay on A roads mainly to bed my new rear tyre and brakes in then start to play on B roads, even had a few runs through a ford. When Julie gave me the death stare we shot across to the Smithy for a late lunch. Our favourite greasy spoon of many years. The weather was very cloudy and on occasion the light quality was interesting. As ever the photos don’t do it justice.
Will stick a few photos up.



All the male stags in Chatsworth.

The inner child said do it ,Julie waits for me to fall off.


So cold we went for high fat option.

Julies Zumba class is cancelled for later so she is treating herself to the Smithy Classic Apple Cake. I am allowed a small taste because I am fat, whohoooo. Damned fine it is too.

We take ages over lunch , well we are sat next to the pot bellied stove.
Off home the long way and back over Burbage. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Really good to be out after several weeks off the bike, back in rinsed off dried with care, locked covered,, until the next time.
Now wheres that Cocodamol .
