Paying Respects then Ride North to the Midlands through a Hail Storm

After visiting the local Churchyard to pay respects to Vince’s Uncle we began our ride North headed for Thrisk and Middlesbrough. It provided a good shake down ride with us practicing getting on and off the bike fully loaded (something my quads and biceps need to get used to!) as well as  riding in a variety of road conditions – from busy London Streets to unpaved country lanes. It was cold, and sometimes wet but when we rode into a hail and thunderstorm we thought it best to pull off early for the day, so around 4.3oish we exited to Wetherby for the night….adaptability is part of the adventure and we are easing our way into it.OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
