Sunny...Dry!!!!!!!!

[GrandadsV]

The 2009/2010 Ice Age is just about finished, the Sun is shining, the roads are dry, and the Strom is waiting with the goodies from Cymarceng fitted .
 And then that age old mystery rears it ugly head, why does your riding gear shrink during the winter  (pause for fine weather rider abuse)
Anyway, the riding gear was squeezed into and we are back on the road . And SWMBO cannot understand why a 1hour journey took 3

Winter Shrinkage occurs on many brands of clothing, not just biking gear    
It's a phenomenon which has yet to be explained    

Enjoy the improvements in weather ..it was snowing in Derbyshire today

Shrinkage always happens when things get cold!

Funny you should mention gear shrinking, my leathers must have come from a sickly cow because I am sure that they were a size bigger last year!!

Yeah, Brilliant weather today (Sunday). Loads of bikes out & about - some looking a bit wobbly (obviously their first ride of the year! )
Me - I'm stuck looking after the kids all today (wife catching up on work) so no chance of me getting out for a ride.

even the lesser spotted sportsbike rider which is my hubby,   emerged from his winter hibernation today

Yep, been out today and had to struggle with the same shrinkage problems. It's worse than we first though - it affects textiles too, AAARGHH !!!

I solve th eshrinkage problem by always buying new kit in the middle of winter, pre-shrunk.

Went out on the bike today too, fabulous.

No can't say I do. But do know that Bumhead is thinking of swapping his Strom for a Beemer  

Were you riding between Little Plumstead & Thorpe End today on the B1140. I saw a black V-strom ( think it was a Strom - only got a quick look at it) this afternoon heading towards Thorpe End.

No was not me,I was heading out to Aylsham and all points north today. you are going to have to have some serious word with Bumhead :tut:  :tut:
