The lockdown is still on and I don’t know when I’ll be allowed to have a “non essential” ride on my bike. When I got stopped a few weeks ago early one Sunday morning by a motorcycle cop I suggested to him that my ride was no different to being on a bicycle ride..its a mix of mental health relief and exercise; at my age getting on and off counts as exercise 🙂 He didn’t seem to be amused by my light hearted comment and proceeded to give me an official bollocking with the threat of £60 fine if he caught me again. So my bike has remained in the garage since then and has been cleaned within an inch of its life..
In between preparing a large section of the garden for sowing of grass seed and also attacking the other myriad jobs on my list drawn up by Mrs M, I have been creating a video montage documentary to relive my fantastic 2018 solo adventure to Norway and the Artic Circle. This really was an adventure with a few unexpected events along the way!
I know you’ll all be fed up with being locked in at home, so why not have a little light relief and follow my 5000 mile round trip journey on YouTube..if you enjoy it please give a thumbs up 👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching…Stay safe and ride safe!!
Nice job Big John, loved the scenery and you are a good story teller. You even have people think your God….
Thank you Fred..God certainly wasn’t the word you used about me when we had 7 days of wet riding in Ireland last year 🙂
