Title: Run out
Post by: fred24 on April 30, 2011, 08:14:49 AM
Did my longest run on the GTR on Thursday 288mls according to the GTR and 283 according to Garmin.

Down to Whitchurch then across to Aberystwyth and up to Tywyn and then home via Bala and not always by the most direct route.

Was having way to much fun to stop and take pictures.

Sounds like a decent trip, I do like Bala, the lake and the railway. Very scenic and peaceful. Pictures next time though, ok?  ;D

Like it Fred !  When I came back from France last year my bike and helmet were like that ! LOL !! Sounds like you had a decent day out then ? What mileage do you have on the bike now and when did you pick it up ? I too have a 'greeny" .. used to commute mostly so since March 03rd a touch under 2,700 miles ... lovely lovely bike.

Now I know why I went for the Magnesium Grey, the fly splatter doesn't show up so much  ::)

Glad you had a good ride

First day on the bike was March 1st and I did 150mls it has now done 2200mls.

The bike isnt used for commuting unless I am going for a run out straight from work
