boboneleg Posted January 12, 2022 Author Share Posted January 12, 2022 No not that 180 but it's been 180 days since i last rode a bike so today I needed to put that right. @Slowlycatchymonkey said the weather was going to be fab but it bloody wasn't when I left home at 11.30 am , i couldn't see in front of my face and it didn't get any better for a while.............. Anyway, perhaps her forecast was right because as I got nearer to her manor the sun started to poke it's head through the fog. By time I got to Chew Valley lake it was lovely............ and the various birdies were enjoying it as well................... I rode up over the Mendip hills and down through the old rode into Wells where it was starting to get positively balmy. From there I rode on to Shepton Mallet where I stopped to have a gander at the old prison, I have actually been in there about 38 years ago but not as a guest of her majesty you understand............ From there I took the Frome road but stpped at Doulting to have a sandwich and a coffee from my flask . While I was there I got a phone call from my mate Big Tone and we agreed to meet up for a coffee at Farrington Farm. I stopped to say hello to this lot on the way in ............. and then we sat in a strange sort of hobbit house for our coffee, Tone is one big hobbit at 6' 4'' tall From there it was a short 18 miles back home . It was great to be out riding again and I may get to repeat the exercise again on Saturday 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Thats great news although Im a tiny bit sour as Id planned to go over the mendips today til flaticus battricus decided otherwise! I did say it would probably be wrong and stay foggy til midday, you gotta read the full prediction I didnt know there was a prison at Shepton Mallet, so is it just a visitor centre full of empty rooms? Bet it felt great to be out after all that time. How’s the legs now? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photo shows the original prison which is a tourist attraction nowadays, the modern prison is next door but I'm not sure if it's still used. My leg feels pretty good, gear-changes were ok and I got home to find out that they can re-fit my original socket tomorrow so that should be much better . 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
