BMW S1000R rideout to Lakes 11/11/2023 : 197 miles
197 miles.
Full thermal inners on my textiles as well as a thermal vest!
Started off on the dark and limited my speed to keep the wind chill down
Up to Preston way to meet Antony then up round some of the Lakes
Usual stop for breakfast at the Cafe at Hawkshead (The Osprey / Fishing centre) on Esthwaite Water
what an incredible breakfast pannini (Sausage Bacon and Black Pudding)
Inside and with a real fire to warm the frozen hands
Way colder than expected down to -0.5 at one point!
Still a fantastic winter run
