I went for a ride this morning and although I didn’t fly like Pegasus I had to keep stopping because I kept meeting horses out on the road. Guess what tonight’s quiz will be? It is a puzzle to me  why horses are allowed to leave their offerings on the road so you have to have your wits about you to avoid the muck! I do sound a grumpy old man so I won’t go on about horse riders on the road on their mobile phones!!!

I spent this afternoon on cleaning bikes and maintenance. The roads are wet and muddy and much ends up on the bikes! It was quite a performance washing them down as the hose had a mind of it’s own! They look so much better until tomorrow!
