Are you all in no-riding mode?

I hear Boris has got everybody to stay at home again. But the French might be coming over to do some fishing.

I haven't ridden for at least a month, I'm ashamed to say.

Same here. Not been out since early Nov. two reasons, one is Covid no need to spread it and an ride does need a coffee stop. The second is its been horrible up here every time I've had the time to take a bike out, and the urge to do so drops.

Looking forward to spring though

I've not ridden since the trip for an MOT a month ago. Not the same without a brew and a bacon sarnie and few cafes are open. I'm fairly relaxed about greasy fodder but not if it might also have a dash of greasy virus.

However, the forecast for tomorrow in the SE looks most excellent, considering the time of year. So I shall pack a picnic and go for a good long bimble and/or thrash. I'm contemplating visiting Middle Farm at Firle and filling a jug with Harvey's Best Bitter.

Hmm, Harvey's on draught, eh? Middle Farm is on one of my favourite bimbling routes but doesn't the Harvey's go flat from jiggling and bumping about on the bike?

I think Harveys used to do "bonfire boy" in November. Absolute nectar. Unfortunately the local Harveys pub has shut down. A sign of the times I'm afraid.

I have returned home from Middle Farm safely with 4 and bit pints of Harvey's best bitter and a bottle of Bonfire Boy. Mmmmm...

The place was full of yummy mummies with pre-school-age kiddies. Mmmmm...

Jerry you should know seeing as you are 17.

Gritters

FYI, this is where the Scots gritters are at present. Right now all at home, but later this monht, no doubt they'll be out

Spot the names.

The best name they haven't used relates to one SNP MP Margaret Ferrier, renowned for being on trains, at hairdressers and speaking at Westminster while knowingly Covid positive.

The name they didn't use: "Margrit Ferrier - Super Spreader"

I will be out on Boxing day for my own solo ride. Might go the Exeter and see if anyone does attend the unofficial Boxing day run to Exmouth.

Not me, I'm riding every week and posting about it.

The only way to break a Taboo is to break the taboo. No one is going to get sick riding a motorcycle. No one is going to transmit bugs while riding a motorcycle.....

Or lie in wait for you, as you swoosh by, so they can jump out and go up your nose.

I'll take my chances!
