Rather disappointingly I didnt get out on the bike until about 3:30 with strict instructions to ger back no later than 6pm for my tea. I had a quick run out to Tadcaster, near York and then returned home via Rodley where I took a quick detour down to the canal. No nothing like that....I just like the canal, quite a peaceful location.
Took a quick pic or two down by the canal. A Springer Spaniel enjoying a dip.

Colder than it looked as well. Had to put the heated grips on and thaw out my mits. :o
I did Mr Wolf ... I did get up "early" ... met up with some old work mates at half 9 ( that IS early ) and had a fat boys fry up close by and then out into central Sussex, Crawley Down, Box Hill, Rusper.. all sort of West/Central Sussex ... about 3 hours worth with a bit of coffee chucked in for good measure ... grips on too ..dry but chilly .. sadly no photos but I shall make sure next time I am out, not commuting , that I take a camera with me. 340 miles on the clock already .... Christ, I may have to wash it again !!!!
I says to the missus I'm off out on the bike. She packed me off to Sainsburys with the kids to do the shopping :'(
Clearly Mrs NB needs sorting.
I was out all day with some trainee IAM Observers
A nice pleasant day out

I did the 55 miles from home to Rhyl Firestation - the senic route through Ruthin, Denbgih and St Aspaph to attend the North Wales Bikesafe's Fbos (1st bike on scene) Course.
"FBoS (First Bike on Scene) This is a first aid course designed by the Northwest Ambulance Service specifically for motorcyclists. FBoS is our chosen first aid partner.

I couldnt believe that I met up with the bike instructor who took me through CBT and Direct Access 10 years ago.
I then came home the scenice route but the sun was deceptive and after about 20 miles i needed to swap to winter gloves!

....... blatant picture whoring as I had a whale of a time, and I did get out (though not on the GTR) on 6th March per thread title .... ;D
Portimao circuit on the Algarve, with balmy 15 degree sunshine and a refreshingly empty track. What a fine way to spend a long weekend, scare myself silly (186mph on the speedo after a particularly good run onto the start/finish straight) and abuse the credit card in one easy activity .....

Nice one. But I just wouldn't have the bottle to do anything like that.
