My last ride before the “big one”.  I managed to find a member of the ACG to join me – my instincts were telling me that going out on my own was a bad idea, but I needed to test out the bike post-service and me post-accident – so I was really pleased to have company.  Instincts are there for a reason you know, and whenever I ignore them, well, that’s when I come a cropper, and I can live without doing that again for a while!  *grin*

We did one of my usual easy training loops ’round the levels, not pushing it, just enjoying being out and having a chat.  I felt a bit wobbly early on, especially going down a wet Winscombe hill, but after a while I got a bit more into it.  I’m still a bit more cautious than I was I think, but hopefully that will wear off.  We nearly missed the rain…but not quite, and got soaked from Wedmore home.  Ah well…I guess that will have washed any dirt off the bike!

I don’t plan on getting on the bike again before the L2P now.  I need to get my kit all washed and sorted, and my packing done.  There’s a pile growing in the front room…which I plan on finishing tomorrow night.  So, nearly there now then.  3 whole days and that’s it…and in a week’s time, it’ll all be over already.  How weird is that?!  🙂
