    Sunday 9th April Riggs n Gullies (Easter egg hunt).

    If anyone wants an extra couple of miles I will be starting at Kirkbymoorside for a gentle spin (uphill) through parkland and lanes and later in the day a return via delightful wooded single track down Sleightholmdale and Kirkdale. It will add another 10 miles but the return route is cracking...

    Dream garage / Dream shed / Dream cupboard.

    I wish, they are serious money now. It’s an 82 SC that I’ve rebuilt/ backdated / outlaw-ish kinda thing

    Anyone into classic cars

    It's one hell of a rabbit hole to go down. I'd love to go down the full GTA-R 290 route I don't have enough internal organs to sell to fund it.

    Anyone into classic cars

    It’s been ten weeks since I brought the little Alfa back from France and I’m still waiting on DVLA to issue a V5 and a set of plates. The latest stage has been a guy who travelled up three hours from Stockport to take a photo of the chassis number. What a wonderful use of tax payers money...

    Anyone into classic cars

    Just back from an epic journey from Brittany to Northumberland to collect a lovely old Alfa. The seller was shocked when I turned up without a transporter or trailer and said I was driving it 650km home. The car had only covered 60km since the 1970’s Absolutely no drama. I used A and B roads...

    Cropton Wobbly Wheels (Yorkshire social weekender ) 5/6/7 th August

    I'm sure a very pleasant road route can be found. That said, the route is very gravel bike friendly and a wide tyre will be all you need
