I've taken today off in preperation for a presentation Ive got to give tomorrow, but when I woke up the sun was shining for the first time since I got my bike and the roads were bone dry. Gutted!!
Left it till 10.30 and couldnt concentrate so took her out for a couple of hours and took a few pics, not the best cos its just done with my phone.
Not done anything really yet except the scorpion can but took the baffles out :thumbsup: .I ordered a Hamicad yesterday so should get that on this weekend.

I go up that way quite a lot, but usually end up doing the Edale road instead because it's more fun :twisted:
