I have managed a couple of pleasant rides in the last couple of weeks. About 2 or three weks ago my friend Chris aquired a new Yamaha Diversion...I Know little about Japanese bikes, but it is a 600cc 4cylinder rocket ship with ABS. The day he took delivery, My other Biking friend Pete and I had arranged a bit of a run, and Chris Joined us. Very pleasant run it was too.
We travelled via Whalley up to Dunsop Bridge and then along the Trough of Bowland, took a left to Galgate and crossed over to Glasson Dock. Pete wanted to call into Glasson Dock to call in on a friend of his who has been rather poorly. Meanwhile Chris and I had a brew at the caravan called "The Lock-Keeper's Rest"... I assure you I am not being paid for saying this, but they do the most remarkably good Bacon Butties... Well worth a try if you are anywhere near.
While we waited for Pete, the heavens opened, but we managed a second brew whilst sheltering under the caravan canopy.
By the time we set off home it was getting a bit late, so Chris (who needed to be home) peeled off and went home via the M6 / M65. I didn't tell him until the following day, but as we left Glasson dock my front brake failed. So Pete and I came back fairly carefully via the A6, Longridge, Ribchester and Blackburn, and thankfully we seemed to be running ahead of the rain so we got home relatively dry and only half an hour after Chris.
