From my house I could be in France within a few hours and up to Italy within a day. Me and some mates are looking to go on a european tour next summer which would be cool

 

Lucky buggers, we have some interesting ridess here, but nothing as exotic as that sounds. A friend & I are talking about doing a bike tour of New Zealand when we can afford it, but thats all we do, is talk.
Once our summer gets here, going to do a few week-enders & sponge of his rellies for accomodation (he has them all over the place) Determined to put a few more kays on the clock this year. had new sprockets & chain, new front tyre fitted, I'm already to go.

 

Do you use your bike during the winter? I don't! Me and a mate are going to devon this year, probably take a tent or something to save money - should be fun.

 

Yeah I use my bike year round, but this year....Got a new dog, Border Collie x Australian Cattle dog, taking a lot of my time, plus a few other things getting the way. Since I moved, my riding buddie now lives 60 klms (35 miles) away, so we don't get to ride as often as we used to. Being a lazy sod, need someone to get me motivated. I think though, that your winters are a bit more ****full than ours, so you have a pretty good reason.

 

dude, I havn't seen a case of "flooding" like that since the 80's

 

I have got a border collie, a welsh one. The flooding has only really affected the north and I live in the south so haven't really been affected.
