After reading Andys RxR and being all but house bound :aaarrgjh i kicked myselfup the arse and dragged the Black Pig out, the sun had been out all day and now a 3pm it felt fine so , in work boots , jeans and bike jacket i set off towards Rocamdour
The first few kms were fine but i little cold in the shade, but i was out
and nothing ached ......result
Maybe i should fill folk in will my mini dilemma
Bloody Thyroid has gone tits up :aaarrgjh this being ill is really new to me , maybe i've been lucky but i'm payng now!!! anyway doc says it'll all get sorted and to stopworking for 3 months :wtf i have to work and there aint know way a bloody gland is going to boss me ............................he says :blah :blah :blah :blah
Result !!!!! ...............yes thats where i was , riding is easy and the old ticker stayed nice and calm ,but i can't go out without going off road :dirtsmile
Turned down a lane i knew that has a ford but found this
Thats at least a metre deep and fast flowing
ops: but there's a bridge
This nearly proved fatal !!!! you can see i've got my Giant Loop luggage (yellow bag) strapped to the Pig (testing if it stays on)
I rolled onto the bridge and thought good photo op !!! stopped the bike threw my leg backward catching the bag and nearlly falling in the river :tosser
I chose this route because i know it's fairly light going knowing full well if the Pig went down i'd never pick it up on my own
If i'd still been smoking i'd of have a tab here
Good job i know where i'm going , bloody GPS has the wrong card in it
Civilisation ...................the back end of Rockie
The Pig
Time to leave it was getting chilly
But me being me saw another trail , should i :hmmm: i'm getting tired it going cold :hmmm:
What the hell.....................
I didn't stop untill here !!!! bloody rut was a good foot deep and the climb was steep and loose
I had a choice
Left OR right
i went left and saw the right route from high :dirtsmile i'll be back :dirtsmile
Time for bed said Zebidee..................the road home
Hope you enjoyed my little bimble , not quite an Andy saga buy i had one hellof a couple of hours and kicked the fook out of those demons !!!! "What if i can't ride anymore"
Cheers all
Phil
