riding bikes and doing other things
After waiting 107 days to get back on a bike (see my recent Blog post here), I was out on the bike again during the week making it two rides within a few days of each other, and of necessity it was out on the Kawasaki again. I headed off to Jeppo’s for a coffee […]

It’s June already and I can’t even say that my biking this year (2019) has been a stop/start affair. It started later than usual and then stopped and it’s remained stopped and I don’t quite have a date yet for when it might get started. It was a later than usual start to my biking […]
