So at last the day of the Southend shakedown is here........ and it's bloody freezing ( 37f )
I was a bit worried about the :cold: because as I don't usually ride in the winter I don't really have any warm gear, but with a pair of trackpants under my kevlar jeans, a nice warm sweater under my jacket, two pairs of socks and a scarf around my neck I was all set. It was OK to be honest, only my hands suffered really, as I only have summer gloves
First a quick ride up and down, before parking
