Eyeball - Ugly bloke riding Shrek near Hartside

Waving his arms furiously, he was... and he didn't even stop!



Boy did we get some rain today!

Sorry mate, was with those GSers half way down the bank. Got up too late to meet you at Masham.

Id changed the pinlock in the Cafe, but then forgot to check if it was sealed and as a result, it bloody steamed up between it! I was going down the bank thinking bloody hell this fog is thick! Flipped the visor and had to stick to 30 all the way down so I could meet up with the others before I took the thing off!

Good day? We missed most of the rain, but most of the surfaces were wet. From Sunderland we went up across Consett and then across to Hartside. Down from there to Devils and then back up onto the A66. Biker down just outside Hartside (Hope he's ok - ambulance etc were there).
Only got in just after 6, fingers were cold again!

No problem. Guessed that who you were with.

Didn't see any sign of the downed biker but we spent a good 30 mins in the cafe.

We went Masham, Hawes, Devils Bridge (started raining) Kendal (raining) Windermere (pouring) Ambleside (foggy and pouring) Penrith (raining) Hartside (foggy) Barnard Castle (finally dry roads) Richmond, Leyburn, Masham, Home.

Nice toasty fingers courtesy of Dr Bike heated grips and fab JTS winter gloves.

Great ride.

Add cold to each of these. Home is 40 miles from Masham

Great ride. I concur entirely.

Yeah it was completely soaking around Kendal when we went past. The downed biker was around 3.30 so by that time you would have been nowhere near.

Itll be great when the good weather comes, I've put over 600 miles on the V in just over a week! Need to slow down as ill not be able to afford the service bill in 3.5k! Need to keep it going for the sake of the warranty
