First Highway Ride

So, we've had norman for a day, and we went for a short spin yesterday evening so Bridget could try it out. I think she liked it, not so secretly... She looked good in all her gear too!



It felt really good to be on a bike again, although it took me a little while to get back into the swing of it. 'Point your face where you want to go and you'll go there.' Took me a little while to remember that, what with all the working out how the indicators work and getting a feel for the gear changes to RPMs and trying not to kill myself in the traffic. Good times! It was all sorted by the time Bridget got on though, nice and steady.


So, first test passed then! We just went to Tim's place for a cup of tea, 20 mins each way with a break in the middle. In about 20 minutes we're for our first highway ride, 30 mins each way. Should be all sweet but we'll be taking it nice and easy just in case! I'll report back on our return.

Norman Arrives

Jeremy picked up Norman today! I think he was super pleased to be back on a bike after such a long time.

And I gave Norman a try, just sitting on the back at this stage, not moving, saying brrruuuuummmmm brrruuummmm!

Next I need to get all my gear on and try a wee trip. Jeremy's worried I wont enjoy it, but I'm pretty sure I will. I can understand his worry, I've sort of seemed a bit reluctant and scared, but I know I'll secretly like it.
