Bike MoT

As I'm on the subject of MoT (see Police Crackdown) I have to say that for the 4th year on the trot, whithout any special preparation, the Deauville sailed straight through it's MoT on Saturday. So that's it given it's fitness certificate for another year. It doesn't stop the expense though. New tyres will be required in a couple of months (the front has been on there for nearly 15,000 miles) and the exhaust is looking decidedly rough, though serviceable, so I'll be keeping an eye out for a bargain replacement.

Coming up at the end of the month, Sunday 30th May, I'll be leading out a group of riders for a tour of the Derbyshire Peak District taking in Snake Pass. Again this is the 4th time round so this year we are heading round the route in an anti-clockwise direction, taking the Snake Pass to Glossop rather down from it. Should be fun if the weather is good, and still enjoyable if it's not so kind to us.
