summer

It's back!
But, as this is Scotland, who knows for how long? So tomorrow, I think I'd better get on the bike and put some miles behind me.
I got my goggles the other day and they really do make a difference. I decided on a pair of Davida  Aviator Pilot T2 which can be worn with spectacles. They're not quite so easy to wear as the half visor I had on the jet helmet but as that wont fit on the speedster another solution had to be found. I was riding with just my specs but that wasn't too secure feeling and the dust and insects just kept on getting in my eyes. I had bought a pair of padded reactive sun glasses and could have got the insert glazed to my prescription but somehow they didn't sit right on my face. Also, they didn't react quite as quickly as I would have liked but I'm probably being just a touch too expectant with that!
At least with the goggles I can wear my own specs and change to sunspecs when needed.
So I'm now looking forward to a good day out. Fingers crossed the weather stays dry.
