Weekender weather

Well, I've just checked the latest forecast and it seems to be mildly more favourable than it was a day or two ago.
Not by much, but its a positive trend and may even continue.
The proposed gritting seems a bit excessive at this time of the year and is obviously bad news for those of us who have only just finished (nearly) a winter rebuild and currently have a pristine monster.
My newly polished ally swinger is feeling a tad nervous of the corrosion potential.
Hopefully, they'll decide against the gritting due to the slightly improved forecast.

For me, its still a bit touch and go whether the bike is finished (and mot'd) in time, but I'm hopeful ... and keen to try and dodge the weather.
