Had an excellent evening at the ENMC Bike Night at the Axe and Compass in Ringstead (around 90 miles round trip).

Rode across with a couple of pals (riding a Walter Wolf RG 250 and a 650 Burgman  :sarcastic:), managed to hit about 20 mins of rain on the way there and got soaked, but it was worth it for the free food and the great bikes and folks that were there. We'll definitely be going back.

Took a more scenic route on the way home as the weather has cleared up totally and was really impressed with the light spread and overall brightness from my LED headlight. Tonight was the first time I've really got to use it on back roads when it's properly dark  :good2:
