Thanks for this. I haven't looked at it yet!

Last December a couple of my friends suggested going to see the MotoGP in Jerez,
Spain, this year. Good idea, I said, having
had a couple of beers.

So, to get there, I bought a 700 cc bike in January thinking I could spend the
spring learning to ride it. No chance, it has been ice and snow and hail
for months in Scotland.

Anyway, I set off as a complete beginner two weeks age; it is well over 30 years
since I last sat on a motor bike saddle.

Got back this afternoon having ridden 3850 miles over quiet country French
roads, Pyreneean passes, Spanish motorways, Irish lanes, and lots more.

Had a great time, non-stop adventures really. The one thing I haven't been doing
is thinking about computer programming.


Cheers


Robert


PS - My recent questions have been about maps and portable tablets, and
navigation. There is a connection. I would have been utterly lost several times
without the GPS on the Nexus, and I will continue to write a utility to help
manage downloading off-line maps. My next real deadline is a pedal-biking trip to
Croatia in July.
