It’s been a little while since my last update here, July and August have been a rather hectic with all kinds of biking antics on the go. Here’s a brief catchup of the highlights:
LlanBikeFest
Earlier in August I checked out the LlanBikeFest up in Llangollen, North Wales. A great little bike festival with a good vibe. Not as large as the Peterborough show, but more compact and more family feel, but with still plenty enough for a good day out.
There was good talks from famous racers, from veterans like Ian Hutchinson and Steve Platter to new start outs like Callum Beach; balanced by global adventurers like Steph Jeavons and Zoe Cano. There were lots of classic bikes on show, many local rider clubs, stunts by Steve Colley, live rock music and plenty of little stalls. We also caught up with mates from Mapped/FA not seen in too long. Overall a good laugh and chilled day out with family.
When searching for new motorcycle helmet you can get pretty lucky, and by lucky I mean that you find ‘the one’ straight away – or at least within minutes. But for many riders, this couldn’t be further away from the truth.
