You have been spotted going up Wyke Ridge Lane just before you come to the golf course...

Shortly followed by a Bentley Continental GT and an Aston Martin

(I was in the girlfriends silver Punto, the shame)

Cheers Andy, guilty as charged

I was actually looking for some suitably bumpy empty roads to check the adjustment of my Nitrons. This involves a lot of very hard braking so 5:30pm on a Friday isn't the ideal time but at least it was dry.

I've seen a few Bentley GTs around that area - maybe footballers...

That is not the best road to check your suspension. I grounded my exhaust about six times in 5 miles on that road.
Good luck with it!!!

I've only caught the undercarriage once on that road. Maybe you need to crank up your ride height or carry lighter travel sweets ?

I'm trying a Joolz cunning plan to get a sharper feel when making progress on back roads. I originally told him that I was mostly interested in A road handling and ride quality but having moved house and done a RideDrive day my priorities have changed...
