Golden Summer Evenings
It has been too hot to ride much lately (plus we are still in go slow mode after the holidays), but Jackson and Tessa and Tommy were more than happy to come up and say hello this evening.
Summer Holidays
After a busy year training and competing, Miss B and Sandy are taking a bit of a break from training and just chilling out together and having fun (and luckily not coming to grief with the others hooning around!). It’s interesting that both Jackson and Raj act just a little …
