Sad to say autumn has arrived with a vengeance after whats been a fantastic (well as good as it gets in these islands) summer.
Wild and windy here with viscous showers.10 deg C here this morning which is quite a shock
Luckily we got the house painted outside last Saturday , it was a balmy and hot day with painters displaying tattoos and hairy legs
Glad I don't have to use the bike today.

Although not quite that cold the weather here has gone down hill rather quickly.
Its been an unusual year weather wise. The winter dragged on with a long cold spring, we seemed to jump straight to a relatively very good, hot (for us) summer. Now we seem to be missing out on our normal Indian summer, lets hope Mother Nature has a change of heart and we are rewarded with a little more warm if hot hot riding weather.

Saturday was a cracking day alright.( compared to today)It was cool enough early on... I had a day trip to get a stray photo rally point near the Healy pass..
Still, it's nice to have normal weather again

You were correct Steve, Weather was(is fantastic ), headed to Mayo to get a couple of photo rally points . Everyone had left the county for the day so I had the roads to myself on a 400 odd mile round trip.. I might even do a write up.
