Biker bits, news and views from Mark Pugh.
With my trusty bike back on the road after much toil, a few tweeks and a hell of a lot of luck, I headed out on my first major ride of the year.Yeah, yeah, I know it's late in the day, but with my lack of funds, my coming redundancy etc I thought I'd never get her back out buzzing past the stationary traffic again. Anyway the choice of ride was Exmouth to Torquay, Torquay to Honiton, Honiton to Chesil Beach (not quite as far a Portland) and back to Exmouth. Managed one coffee stop in Torquay, and a stop for the obligatory Bacon Buttie near Chesil. Cloudy all day, but no rain until I got back to Exmouth.I hear the Jurassic Bikers have ride-out soon. Check their site at www.jurassicbikers.co.uk for details.Hopefully I'll be doing a little more riding for pleasure in the coming weeks, and at least now the beasty is back on the road it helps soften the blow of redundancy.
