I posted previously about a couple of other post lockdown rides and you can see those at the following links: Back on the Road Again and Sunny Roads on Sunny Days,  Yesterday was another glorious day, so I rolled the […]

Having missed a year on my bikes (injury and then the pandemic) it’s been brilliant in the last couple of weeks to get out and about again. Yesterday I was making the most of the good weather and did a few miles on the Kawasaki – a completely different ride from the BMW, with it’s […]

It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to go out on a bike, in fact it’s been just over a year (due to a fractured knee) but with now with the knee being in much better shape, the UK lockdown restirction easing and plenty of good weather I’ve had a few decent rides […]

As the lockdown continues in the UK I have continued to cast my mind back to previous years biking and trips and this lockdown post reflects back to 2017. 2017 was quite simply a standout year for my biking. There was the usual general activity that included the Manchester and NEC bike shows and another […]

Part 6 of the Lockdown Lookback features another couple of European Road Trips (RT11 and RT12) one of which was memorable for me for all the wrong reasons when I was involved in an avoidable accident on the A55 in Italy and which put something of a dampener on the trip. This was also a […]
