Spring has been postponed in the UK

I headed out West for the weekend on the Loop – destination Upton upon Severn. Roads out there are still thick with salt and grit – piled up down the middle on the narrower lanes. Still some snow in the verges too. 

Thinking they've taken to laying enough salt at the slightest inclination that I need a bike I really don't care about for winter miles. A Honda perhaps.

I used to live in Great Malvern, which is near Upton upon Severn, until we moved four years ago. I think you are in Essex; that's quite a run out!

Maybe what you saw was not actually snow, but salt!

OK, OK enough with the rain already! I know I wanted the salt washed off the roads here in the UK but you can leave the tarmac. It may be time for me to join an ark builders forum.

You not been out yet, I have had three great rides approaching 200 miles already

My first ride out will be to Stafford motorbike show next week end.

I am going to stafford, not chosen a day yet and not on a bike. I will wear the teashirt but at this time of year it will be under jacket

I have not had the opportunity this year: family commitments plus crap weather

31C here today. Winters not far away 
Cheers

I may see you there Angus. My bike will be on the BSAOC stand.

Over the last week here in the UK we have gone from winter to summer. Really warm and sunny today. I used the A10 to visit relies; 120 miles round trip. Fab riding weather!

Looks like we finally have good riding weather in BC. The rain has stopped and 12 of the next 14 are forecast to be Sunny, high in the low 20s c   (70-75 f)

 Kinda like a 'reliability trial ' ?

Spring is here on the island of vancouver

Took the A for a 200k bimble up and down the coast road

Happy times

I Know I know I should be riding it. VMCC Relay Rally tomorrow, loads of check points all over the UK. I am collecting some people who can not ride or drive at present, to man one of them. Then I should be able to go of for a days riding on a beautiful spring day. First time in the van.
