Great pic! As a man of discerning tastes, might one enquire as to which make of heated gloves you were won over by?

I ended up buying on reccomendation from two seperate vmcc members,   Savior is the make, french i think, not the most expensive, around £80 if i remember right, i haven`t been out in the rain yet so can`t say if they are waterproof as they claim

Hi Rufus

Lovely picture of the Conda in a fabulous area. I have been lucky enough to travel that area a lot over the years as (I think I've said before) my mate's Mother-in-law lives in Kirgunzion. What a great set of roads to have on your doorstep.

I've been into Derbyshire along the Via Gellia near Matlock and then called in to the Woodend carvery for a very nice, if slightly expensive, brekkie. I don't know about you Rufus but most of my trips out involve bacon in some form!

As one of the Youtube people I follow says 'see you out on the road'.

Nice trundle about, went past Glencairn reservoir and on through Glencairn, lots of wet patches on the ground with some flooding,  lots of belties !

Hi Rufus

Great ride and I love the Belties, though for me a good old Heelan Coo beats a Galloway any day!

Sadly my ride was only to work but still a nice 15 miles on some quiet roads.
