If you read my blogs you will probably be sick of my ever positive attitude to riding and the current conditions. Since my lay off I had written that, despite the weather, I had only ridden in dry conditions (road riding). Things have changed but not for the worse. The last three rides have started…

Are drugs good? I love my Addict
If you mean chemicals that stimulate the body and mind then I would say yes. We all appreciate the nice sensation that they produce.
