At last, a few days of sunshine and a taste of the summer to come – well, hopefully.

I even managed to get out in the fresh air and enjoy the sunshine with the first bike ride of the year. And, before you ask, yes, the leathers still fit!

Last Sunday, the Welsh roads saw hundreds of bikers enjoying the countryside from the Gower coastline to the top end of Wales, which as far as I’m concerned are the best roads and scenic views in Britain.

Yes OK, we do sometimes lack the ideal weather, but when it all comes together and the conditions are right who wouldn’t want to live here in Wales?

City traffic jams are a curse most days and weekend traffic brings out the worst in people as stress levels rise.

So, with this in mind, I go out on my motorbike and explore places that aren’t as well known or as popular.

An old friend once told me, “Life is an adventure and we must all fuel the need to get outdoors and explore the beauty that awaits discovery.”

Wise words. I’m sure many would agree.
