Not a very long ride, only 30 miles, but very different to all other rides. Will she start properly? Do the improvements you have made during the long long winter work? The missing feeling of the bike the first few miles causing a certain degree of anxiety. The new and deeper potholes in the roads and all the other worries which after a few miles give way to a exhilerating feeling of mastery and sheer joy of riding.
The cold wind in your face, the cornering on your new tires, the beauty of the landscape free of the winter's snow and on the brink of spring, the sound of the engine and the sound of the wind. All this is what you have been longing for through five dark months and now it
is yours.
greetings from a grey and rather cold north
