MooN Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Got out for a couple of ours on the tiger this afternoon, overcast and dampish but pleasantly positive temperatures. I rode Northwards into the Forét D'Othe and had a troll round just following my nose. I only stopped a couple of times cos I'm using my phone for pics and it's a palaver with winter gloves etc. I found some nice, not too wet, gravel tracksnorth of Esnon and followed it round in a loop bringing me back alomost to it's starting point about 8 or 10 km later Having been northish for about 45 minutes, I turned east and rode towards what would have been a nice sunset had the clouds not been quite so thick Light was failing so I turned southwards and left a bit back towards Home along some nice open back roads Got home just as dusk started setting in. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busabeast Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 My day today has mainly consisted of hanging a new rear door, started at 11 or so finished at 3 ish. Got to say those electric planers are worth their money I ended up needing to take 4mm off the lock side and 0.7mm off the hinge side and that was done in 3 passes of the plane. All I need to do now is fit the catflap and paint it so it's sealed and it's finished, here's to hoping it doesn't rain over the next couple of days otherwise the door will be fucked 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
