Not Ride to Work Day

June 15th. International Ride to Work Day.

Great if you are working. 
Great if you have a motorcycle.

Not so great if due to the Covid-19 pandemic you are working from home and own a motorcycle.

That's me folks.

I worked on the computer from 0755 until I logged off at 1607. I guessed I had done my bit.

I togged up. Pulled Pepé from slumber in the garage and set off.

Where to go? 

I decided on somewhere to bang off a photo that I had been out on this International Day. So I went to Dungeness.

The roads were quite busy. The UK is still not totally out of Lockdown.

The parking at Dymchurch by the beach was maybe 40% full. It's June. Still kids aren't at school. So parents obviously consider the combination of sun and no school to mean it's holiday time.

Dungeness was pretty empty. The ride to the Light Railway station and Old Lighthouse had quite a few cars and tourists were photographing Derek Jarman's cottage and garden. 

I've done that before so took my photo of Pepé with the Old Lighthouse.

Pepé and Old Lighthouse.

Then a slow ride home. 

End mileage today 9698.

Route track.

My brother for instance.  He regularly plans trips with a mate that take three or four weeks in the summer before the school holidays make hotels and accommodation too expensive. I can't do that. So when "real life" gets in the way, then the bike trips have to take a back seat.  Don't get me wrong.  I like going out in the car with wife and dog to places of interest or just to the White Cliffs for a cake and coffee and walk with Reggie. But. Sometimes I want to get my gear on and go for a ride. Last Sunday the "Family Paul" won out.  Hopefully tomorrow, June 6th and of course the 77th Anniversary D-Day, I can get out and do the trip around the county and get the "Cup of Tea Challenge" chalked off. I need to ride the £15000 wo
