Just a quickie and not so much a good ride but at least i got a couple of pics.
Wanted to get a few bits from the local marine fish store, some bike cleaner and had to see Mongo as well, also wanted to go on teh bike so thought why not combine both and give me chance to try riding with a tankbag for the first time in prep for the spain trip
Headed to Caerphilly first via Ystrad Mynach to the marine shop, got the bits i wanted had a quick chat and left again for Caerphilthy mountain.
Wore my offroad lid today and by feck is it no good for anything over 60mph!
Neck straining and eyes almost sucked out of the sockets by the goggles pressing against them
At the Marine Shop :
Got over the top of Caerphilly Mountain and dropped down through the lane to castle coch and onto the droll a470
Got off at Nelson and hit the slightly misty mountain to Merthyr :
Spotted some loonies fishing at the pond on top, bit breezy and cold up here to be sat around a pond!
Got to the bike shop picked up my 1ltr of Pro Clean THE best bike cleaner ever and headed to Mongo's via the heads of the valleys.
Got there and had a nice long natter mostly about the much anticipated Spain trip while Alfie (the giant horse/dog) was sunbathing and drooling on occasions
Got home around 4pm with a tankbag full of shopping, 1 x tub of fish food, some water treatment stuff, some trace elements additive stuff, 1 ltr of Pro Clean and two aerosols of bike maintenance spray and didnt even feel tha tank bag was there
This big orange beasty is the swiss army knife of bikes
