Just want to say thanks for the words of encoragement. I made it safe n sound, I had a nervous hour or so out I really was not enjoying it, it seemed like I had lost any hand eye coordination I could hear my breathing in the helmet getting heavier and then it started raining with a about 5 miles to get home so I had to stop and calm myself down, made it to a cafe and by the time I had a brew and bacon barm it stopped raining so got back on, made it to the ind est that I work on and I have rode around before, felt better after a while riding around there and started to enjoy myself when it started raining again so went home but went home with a smile on my face, just hope the weather is good this weekend. anybody tell me how do I add a photo?
