Hi All.

Off this week (work for myself). Had stuff to do Mon and Tues (when it was glorious weather) and set aside Weds for a ride. Woke to a grey day but set off anyway. Hit persistent drizzle at Kirby Lonsdale... after a second mug of tea decided to carry on and headed in the direction that looked brightest. I ended up near Cartmel Priory and then headed on around Lake Windermere, where the roads were lovely and dry and there was occasional sunshine. The bike behaved impeccably, as always.
Also found a great place for lunch, which always adds to the ride, I find. Recommended - the Outgate Inn near Hawkshead.

Is that oxford lifetime luggage you're sporting there?

Oxford magnetic tankbags came with the bike. Very useful - can get spare visor, camera, ciggies, phone etc in the small one.

Haha, mine came with my purchase as well. I've loved it, and found they are pretty waterproof
