Nice snaps Fr D, although it does look a bit chilly. Seeing your in full bike gear it's not as hot as last time you were out. It must be much easier to spin around with th heat nearly gone.

Agree with Tazzie, jammy whammy git :hilarious:

Haha, cheers folks.
Yeah, chilly, twas only about 25C, :lol:

earlier in the year it was 35C and too hot for gear. At least the jacket is fully vented with large mesh panels.
Not cold at all, the white mountains are actually mountains of salt, not snow. Photo taken beside the salt beds.

@jem, yeah, the VFR lives in Spain now. Will probably re-register it next year.
@CBR46, Bike is clean. Every time I am leaving it, I give it a coating of turtle wax but I don't buff it off, I just cover it up and then I polish it when I go back out, gives it a good shine.

Ah very good - makes sense! Certainly beats biking over here... as we enter the big rain/sleet/snow/all of the above season!

Great pics Ferg. I have been thinking of buying a bike for Spain (southern andalucia)recently and your pictures are driving on the idea. I need to pm you re a few issues.

Caution. The above post may contain my opinion.

Unfortunately, while the VFR lives in Spain, I am still living and commuting in rainy Ireland. Got home Monday night. It'll be a good few years before we can move over there permanently but I will console myself with regular trips over there thanks to cheap flights.

To blow away the winter blues I took advantage of a cheapo Ryanair flight to Spain at the weekend, got back last night.

Weather was savage for January, around 20-22 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. I was sitting at the Captains Table on Saturday night so I didn't make the regular 9am SSMBR so I went out at avout 1.30 for a few hours. The roads out there are just savage, bone dry and no potholes.

Here's a few pics to bore ye
