I had a few hours riding the roads in the Essex/Suffolk border area today. Lots of evidence of heavy rains in the previous day or so with mud and grit on the roads – usually the corners – and a car or two that had found it too slippery and ended up in the ditch. Plenty of council workers out and about sweeping up though. Top marks!
I slipped in a visit to Hideout Leather to have a gander at their stuff and be amazed at the price of Rukka SRO jackets (£999 if you please! Doubtless very good but can they really justify such a price I wonder?)
