Watarase

A nice slow ride to Watarase and some meandering on the way home to clock up just over 100km. Very windy around the lake, even too windy for the windsurfers who were all there wondering whether to go out or not. Maybe it was just too cold. Plenty of people fishing though. By the looks […]
