Got caught up in the charity fund raiser Ring of Red on the M60 today, thousand of bikers. Bridges overhead had hoards of people waving and showing encouragement, one had even brought a tank, which was a bit different Luckily I was on the red one.
Don’t need to unless challenged by a water bailiff or a member of the Angling association who have the fishing rights to my local stretch of canal it’s a fairly innocuous pursuit.
Didn’t notice the tank. But like you said, the weather was red hot. Left Huddersfield at about 9:30 and it was damp, foggy and a bit chilly so wore my full leathers and a winter jacket over the top. Sweating my nuts off stood about in the car park surrounded by all those bikes.
I hadn’t realised it was on until i filtered in from a slip road and was surprised by the number of bikes around me I stuck with them for a good few miles and then dropped off and detoured back towards Stockport on the M60 I’ll make a note for next year
Took the Panigale for its mot. Dry all day until the moment I locked the door to leave, pissed down all the way there and all the way back so I’m soaked right down to my bracks. It passed though obviously.
Took my lad to the local climbing wall, not sure who grades these routes but not all the colours seem to correspond to each other.
