Enduro Riding... Not!

What a beautiful weekend. The old 'Currant Bun' was shinning, not a cloud in the sky to be seen and temperatures in the teens, well during the daylight hours (makes you ponder the question doesn't it, "Global Warming, is it all bad?" It's November it's meant to be snowing!). So what more of an excuse did I need to take Eloisa out for a blast? (OK OK, I know already, another boring motorbike post, but I'll try and make it a wee bit exciting for you and throw in the odd encounter with UFO's or something).

So Saturday arrives, previous plans for the weekend had been scraped at the last minuet, so what to do? Ummm... Suppose I could get on me bike and go for a little ride, after all the bike needs testing as much as possible before the 'Big Trip' and also I need as much experience riding her (I know, weak, but what the hell...). So with the bike fully loaded, including a mad volunteer riding pillion (thanx to the fearless 'suicidal tendencies' of Gemmak for that one ;o)), off we go.

300+ miles and 7 hours later we park up, Trebarwith Strand in Cornwall, somewhere I'd never been before, but had previously been reliably informed by Gem was well worth a visit, it was, she was right, not that I was really in any state to appreciate the stunning views. Two pints of 'G', a bit of tucker and I was wasted, where's my comfy bed!




Sunday, the reverse, back via the motorways though this time, we'd ridden down on the slow but very scenic A35/A30 coast roads, so it was time to give the bike a good 'Airing' on the fast bits. All weekend she behaved with impeccable manners, unlike me after a couple of pints of Guinness :o)



OK I admit it, after nearly 700 miles in 2 days I was shattered, another early night was required Sunday, this long distance riding takes stamina, I need more practice! ;o)

Anyway, that's about my weekend :o) (I'll tell you about the UFO and alian encounter another time :o) )
