Quick ride home

[Pedro]

Rode home today, from my parent's place near Porto to Ribatejo. 

This was around 2,5 hours on the motorway, and then maybe an hour on country roads and over hills, with a stop on my favourite cafe for lunch on top of Serra de Montejunto and just half an hour away from home. 

I was a little too optimistic watching the rain radar, by this point I thought I was just escaping the rain clouds, light was just ahead.

 

Turns out I was wrong, and went through a few showers. A few harder ones, but all of them short so didn't get too wet. I didn't feel like stopping so stayed with jeans the whole time, it was manageable as it wasn't cold.

Stopped by a cool old school looking house to check some stuff on my email while talking to a client:

 

Up in the Serra, it was quite wet from the very low clouds. The sun was trying hard to break through, but couldn't.

 

After avoiding some lost city folks who were scared of the fog and stopped a grey electric SUV with no warning lights in the middle of the road to check their phones, I managed to get to my lunch location. 

It was very moody out there today.

 

Ate inside, their heat lamps felt very good after the motorway.

 

Just a nice value simple burger, nothing fancy.

 

Almost home, local farm's horses were munching on the winter wild growth.

 

Uneventful ride, felt nice to be back on my bike.

Pics in the fog look kinda scary. Good BOTM material.

I know, I should have delayed the poll to start today

I was thinking the same thing....the fog pics are brilliant. I used to love riding in the fog...the bike always seemed to run quite well in it.

I notice that with my 650 sometimes it runs real nice in certain conditions
