Ride out with Dan
Neil wrote this whilst on the Summer 2009 adventure.
With 2 weeks to go, Dan and I met up for a ride and a chat about our route. We covered just under 70 miles doing B roads in Surrey in search of a pub we once stopped at…. sadly no joy. However, we did find another pub equally as nice. As you may notice, Dan and I ride quite different bikes (pictured). We’ve agreed to take it slow and see how it goes. His bike a Honda VTR SP-1 was designed more for the likes of track racing than long distance touring. The riding position, comfort of the seat are just a couple of problems, luggage and cruising speed are another.
Anyhow, it all looks good!
a nice pub is apparently hard to find these days! but once you find one, at least you can go back to it as often as you like
