Riding on your lunch break!
 
wow... went out for 25 mins on bike. now got butterflies in my belly!

Been doing data entry all morning so a ride has done me the world of good before I get stuck into a load of stats this afternoon! Lunch riding might become a regular thing in the summer!

Only done 550miles but the tyres seem to be worn in now and its hot and dry, no more slithering on corners, just feels like it grips (though i was hardly pushing it). Bike accelerates through the gears so effortlessly. wasn't pushing it in low gears because it picks up so fast!

First time i've had the bike in optimum weather! Smile from ear to ear!

I sometimes go out roundabout bagging at lunch ;)

Cool 8)

I guess you're on the original Dunlop D220's. I'm still on them after 4700 miles. They only grip when it's a warm day :!:

I'll often go for a quick blat at lunchtime. Have to watch out for cars mind; they're all rushing round like blue-arsed flies trying to run errands on their lunch hour and get back to work in time, so you need to be extra alert.
