First Trail Ride On The GSA
I've got the bike, it's capable but am I? Follow me on my first trail ride on the big girl, my 2008 BMW R1200 GSA. Slow and steady was the order of the day, but great fun.

New kit day, only bettered by new bike day. Watch the unboxing of my new LS2 Pioneer EVO Evolve helmet & first ride impressions.

After a few days with my parents, and a day out biking to some of my old haunts, it was time to start the return journey back to the Costa Banca in Spain. So it was with a heavy heart that I loaded my bike, had a last breakfast with my parents and then waved as I took to the road again. Setting off with mixed emotions, sad to be saying goodbye, not knowing when I would get the chance to see them again but pleased that I had managed the journey before my father's hospital appointments and treatments were due to start.
How are you all doing, during lockdown? Just a few of my rambling thoughts, as I ride and get a bit lost near Guadalest reservoir in the Costa Blanca, Spain.
Thankfully not really lost, just on lanes I haven't ridden before.
Enjoy the video.
Ordering new bike gear over the internet can be fraught with problems, have you picked the right size, is the colour shown accurate, will it be comfortable? All of these issues and more were floating around my head as I looked at various websites to choose my next pair of biking jeans. I needn't have worried though, as one call to Julie from Hood Jeans, put my mind at ease.
