Pedro Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Rode home today, from my parents place up north. I had sort of planned to go on a long 4 or 5 day long ride, but the weather was shit as of yesterday, drove an hour each way yesterday to visit a client and this was the scenery: Lots of accidents on a very rainy motorway which tells me Portuguese people forget how to drive at the first rain, second and third day is not so bad which means all the worse ones crash right away. Didn't fancy touring around in rainy small roads, and also was in quite a shitty mood so just came home for a few days. Took the coastal road which is a lot less interesting than the hills, but I didn't feel like 5 hours of rain and cold. At first, it seemed like nice enough weather but only a few kms into it the fog started and then the rain, my jacket needs to be treated for water repellence, which made me curse Dainese, didn't get wet as the rain was not prolonged though, but also didn't feel like making many photo stops so no ride report. Only one stop for a coffee near a very moody beach: They call this the "Atlantic Road", it's a very epic name for a shitty road, Australia coast of California this is not Stopped for lunch in a little spot that seemed promising but as I was getting set up it started to rain and three cars full of spaniards arrived, next week being Easter they all go on to invade everything. I couldn't take the noisy lot and, eating outside being unappealing, just got back on the bike and rode home closer to home for a nice snack by the river A TDM came and parked next to the GS Got back on the bike before it started to rain again, bought groceries on the way and made it home with a filthy bike, for another expresso as I write this 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bike is a mess and I'm not really good at cleaning it, it's more of a general wash I'm afraid Once the weather gets nice for drying it properly, yes, tomorrow or Monday 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only been sort of raining up north for a couple of days, we're still in a draught state. Right now I could do it here as it's nice, but just had a nice shower and there's no way I'm doing it now more so after a long ride when it's still hot in places. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 It’s a fucking tale of woe for the majority of people in the UK, just glad we left when we did. Certainly couldn’t afford to live there now and also couldn’t afford to move to Spain and take residencia now that the rules have changes after Brexit. On a brighter note I chopped the fuck out of a palm tree today using only a hand held blade. Always been useful with a blade ……….and the Himalayan is getting a thrashing tomorrow just because. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a palm tree like that, it got eaten by Egyptian palm tree beatles, so it fell apart and I disposed of it. Now, there were hundred of palm tress starting to grow, like weeds, it was a bugger to pull them all out as they hold on way harder than normal plants. Since you cut yours down and it was innocent, lets hope that in a year there's not 50 more 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
