Great - albeit VERY cold and windy - day out on the Safe Rider course with @norfolkpolice today! I felt my riding and confidence improve with every section.
I'm so glad I managed to book onto this before all my riding over the summer, I feel far more prepared to tackle all the unknown coastal roads now and will continue to practice all the techniques and tips I have learnt.
I've been riding for (on and off) twenty years now (!) but I will always look for opportunities to improve my skills; I still have so much to learn!
It was SO cold and windy today it really did add another layer of challenge on top of the already nerve-wracking day of riding with a police bike in your mirror all day. But Luke, who took us out, was brilliant and really made me feel at ease. Some great pointers and encouragement along the way too.
The chip butty and cup of tea in the windy Hunstanton cliff top cafe was very welcomed to warm up!
I also had the benefit of meeting a new fellow Royal Enfield rider friend in @lizbishopphotography!
If you can book onto a Safe Rider/BikeSafe course with your local police force I 100% recommend doing so.

No jokes... This is genuinely what was on the @cardo_uk in this clip!
I have some incredibly random stuff on my roadtrip playlist. The kids may have had some input...
6 hours a day on the road for 21 days straight and this going round in my head?!
I think I'll go (even more) mad....
What else should I add to make me laugh/sing at the top of my lungs/generally entertain me on my ride?

Comment with what you think I'm listening to... Wrong answers only!
You'd never guess anyway! This one was the most random one yet!
Best wrong answers may earn an honourable spot on the Roadtrip Randoms playlist! 🎶
When @skol_will reminds you @craigdavid's #rewind album exists, @cardo_uk makes it happen and @insta360 catches you reminiscing and grooving to #fillmein on your commute.
Sunshine, good times and happy rides!
I really needed this ride today.
I took full advantage of the short break in the wet and windy weather to take the scram out for our first jaunt into the Norfolk countryside.
After a full on festive period with my Mum hat on, I needed a little me time. Nothing clears my head more than getting out on the bike.
I also had the pleasure of visiting @freya__read at The Trim Shed's new HQ! So good to see Freya building her business to exciting new heights! If you need any sort of trimming, give her a shout, you won't find better.
I admit my fingers and toes were numb by the time I got home, so with colder days ahead I think I'll be cracking out the heated accessories shortly! ❄️🔥
Didn't detract from a glorious ride out though!

Time to introduce this one to the grid! Introducing my beautiful new Scram 😎
Beyond chuffed with this one. Winter commuting will be much more enjoyable now, and plenty of summer adventures await us beyond that!
(She will be named when we have had more time to get properly acquainted)
What do you think?!

45 mins around Norwich in 60 seconds.
A short test ride of the Royal Enfield Himalayan trying to cram as many different road types and real world everyday scenarios in as possible.
City centre traffic ✔️
Ring road ✔️
"Country roads" ✔️
Dual carriageway ✔️
Learner drivers ✔️
Unobservant drivers pulling out on me ✔️
The Himalayan handled them all just fine. I really want to see how the more road set up Scram compares though. Watch this space...

Just back from an amazing week away with the family at our 'second home'; Happisburgh.
Topped off beautifully by a gorgeous early evening ride home which was the most enjoyable ride I've had for ages.
We've had a fantastic holiday filled with trips to the beach, ice creams, 2p machines, a Lego day, the fun of Cromer Carnival and of course the obligatory trip to Yarmouth for the snails and the big dipper. I've so enjoyed our family time together. I don't share pics of the kids here but needless to say my phone is full of happy smiley photos of them grinning ear to ear.
A much needed week to relax and recharge before the craziness the next term will bring. In September the eldest is starting high school, the youngest starting infant school and I'm starting uni! Let the fun begin!
