My weekend.

I left my house 5.45am Sunday morning to ride through the New Forest to Lymington. I caught a ferry to the Isle of Wight. I walked around the island some and then rode around the island. I attended the annual ride-out which was also cool.

Monday I left at 5.30am to catch the ferry to Lymington and then rode to Brighton to meet the other Donkei Skoks, where we pointed at shiney things and made crude jokes. I then dumped the Skoks to have lunch with my brother and sister in law.

I then rode home. All in all just under 400 miles.

I have lots more pics but I have just posted a few.
first fuel up. first of many.

my favourite
These two are my favourite pictures from the weekend. You can't actually see much. But when I look at these images I remember what I could see at that moment. It was 5.45am and I was looking out across the isle of wight from a high vantage point across the sea as the sun was just starting to rise. There was beautiful rolling fog across the fields and it was amazing. So I pulled over to take a pic, but there was not enough light

Sorry Pete you know I am only joking. Laughing emoticon

The super seat is actually really comfortable, it took a while to get used to it (and AlanWs fluted seat cover helps, it stops sliding down the front)

Maybe it's time to research a new more comfortable seat, get one that has extra padding, for those with a robust build.

Thought about going this year in commemoration of hitting the big 4-0. So, since I did not make it, I really appreciate the photos.
