Yesterday was a good day, despite a kit issue. I arranged to meet up with a few friends at the refurbished Hilltop cafe on the A30 just outside Salisbury for a run down to West Bay in Dorset.
Now called the Haven I can highly recommend it. The food was brilliant (The Sunrise breakfast hits the spot), the staff friendly and the inside extremely tidy and welcoming. Give it a try.
In the end there were seven of us heading out, but the group split itself along the way with peoples natural riding speeds.

After a brief stop at the Hardy Monument we heading along the coastroad into West Bay, which is a lovely route with smooth tarmac, bends and crests....ruined by camper vans and people not looking where they are going! I'll head back there after summer, when the holidays are over and ride it early in the morning. Could be fun.
You'll notice from the picture that I'm still riding the FireBlade (I've cunningly hidden it being Alistair). The 1098s is still in the shop and when I popped over to see it on Saturday, was slightly disappointed to see that in the last two weeks, nothing had been done. It's by no means the end of the world, but still, I'd like to know progress is being made.
As the Isle of Man TT is just around the corner, I've made a point of watching my Blu Ray editions of previous years racing. So, over the next two weeks, I'll have all those reviews updated, the 2009 season review is already there. Annoyingly, all my DVD copies are back in London, so you'll have to wait for those I haven't reviewed yet. Hey, it will give you something to look forward to.
