Yet another fantastic night.
Lets start with the important stuff, the beer of choice last night was Hook Norton's Hooky.
Food was (in no particular order):
Bambi
Cheeze burger
chips
Riding:
Myself
Deano
CL
Mrs T
Torslanda
The day had changeable weather, and at times I worried that we may see a repeat of the biblical downpours that we had on Monday. However by the time we had all assembled, drunk coffee/tea, got changed and readied bikes the sky was starting to clear. Out on the back road to Yafforth (which myself and Torslanda had reccee'd earlier and been amazed by the high water line), then on to Danby Whiske, whereupon Mrs T's super duper bright light failed, or at least the battery ran out. A quick swap out saw her lit up again and off we went to Streetlam, up a few little hills and FAST back down the other side. A short while after Streetlam we joined the main NTR > Scorton road (the one shown on the news the other night as being under water) for a grinding drag up to the Thrintoft turn off. We swept down that road, being buzzed by 3 4X4s, but even that didn't dampen our spirits, or ruin the ride. Into the pub for beer and food, then the road way home (even Deano admitted he didn't fancy Shark Lane last night). Down to Ainderby Steeple saw us riding along a virtually deserted road, at the crossroads we found out why, the road is closed due to the bridge at Morton being underwater (it being on the Swale). It was on this road that Mrs T and CL were tracked by an owl, firstly on their right, then it flew across the road and tracked them on their left for a while. A fast swoop down in Romanby saw us home at just after 22:00, happy, smiling and just nicely tired.
CL departed for the station, Tors nearly fell asleep on our sofa, again (I should maybe get a blue plaque made for that sofa "Torslanda slept here") until we mentioned he should really be getting a move on, I helped him load his car and off he went into the night.
As I said previously, a brilliant night all round, really.
