The skies have cleared :-)

Tonight we have a ride with a difference - out to our Millennium Meadow
for a viewing of Saturn and its rings via some telescopes from the local
astronomical society.
Its been cloudy all day, but they have just disappeared leaving a
completely clear blue, but darkening, sky :-)

So its 'Bikes and Saturn' tonight .

Now to find those woolly leggings.
