Went for a ride at the weekend and fancied ticking off another Bike Passport location.

I knew I only wanted to ride for about 45 minutes, but I still found myself bouncing between Google Maps, Google searches and Facebook trying to decide where to go.

It got me thinking...

In my survey so far, 65% of riders say they use Google Maps when planning or taking leisure rides.

If Google Maps gets us there, what actually helps you decide where to ride in the first place?

Mates? Facebook groups? Calimoto? REVER? Instagram? Pure chance?

Genuinely interested in how everyone does it.

I'm thinking about doing some advanced training to become a better, safer road rider. There seem to be loads of options (IAM, RoSPA, BikeSafe, Rapid etc.).

If you've done one, what would you recommend and why?

I have a hydraulic clutch on my Guzzi. after riding for about an hour or so i've noticed that the bike revs but wont accelerate in higher gears and i either need to ride the clutch a little or change down. last time this happened i came to a stand still as there was no acceleration through any of the gears. could it be old fluid or air in the fluid or viscosity change due to temperature causing clutch to slip?

sometimes my brain runs faster than my fingers so there are typos. dyslexia doesn't help either 👀
