A big thanks

[Rushy]

I must say a big thanks to some NW forum members for an enjoyable weekend at the Ryedale.

Firstly a big thanks to Phil and Malc for convincing this off road newbie to enter. It was the most fun i'd had on a bike for a long time and not a bit as scary as I thought it might be.

Secondly a big thanks to Phil for driving Malc and I up there in his big Nissan and for sorting out his big flat bed trailer so it would accomodate all 3 bikes. The 2 of you are great company despite all the piss taking. Thanks fellas

Thirdly nice one PaulXC for the loan of the big gazebo, the knee support and for your excellent brew making skills . Glad you decided to enter too.

Next its a big thank you to our resident NW osteopath Denise (earthmovers better half) for her nursing skills after I fecked my knee up on saturday and also for chauffering me around on Sunday too

It was great to see a load of guys from the forum in general up there and meet a few new faces. Bambam (HP2) , Lillith , Burtieboy (LC4) , Mouse (950ADV), Ben (HP2 and a few others + Mav again. It was a realy great event , so well organised and such a great atmosphere + some excellent weather unlike the vids I saw from last years monsoon like event.

I've an appointment at the doctors at 10.15 to check out my knee so we'll see what the prognosis is.


Now , let the pisstaking commence, bring it on Phil...

Denise is registered on here as "Lady O", but as she never gets time to get on her computer she hasn't posted anything!
Hope the knee gets better soon.

I'm guessing you led from start to finish and crossed the line with one of your spectacular back flips

Hi Mark,

I didnt think she was registered . Please pass on my thanks to her again

Went to the docs , nothing broken but the ambulance guys pretty much confirmed that too and I doubt I could have ridden the bike out with anything busted anyway. She did say quote " You'd probably wish you had busted something cos it would be quicker to heal. Some nice ligament/tissue damage there instead, 8-12 weeks to heal fully depending on how you look after it. Signed off work for a week , come back for another sign off next week, back in two weeks for physio if not seriously improved by then ".........

However, I really need to be at work so taking 2 days off for now and arranging some way of keeping it elevated whilst there.

The good news is the swelling that was still evident last night when I went to bed has significantly reduced .Might look into getting some physio privately anyway because I definitely need to be fully fit for the birth in 11 weeks time.

PS Just noticed your sig line

Thanks mate.

I actually managed to put on nearly 8lb in one week so you are not far off the mark..........the other 28lb is the camera

Don't be nasty - remember, he's eating for two now

Absolutely spot on......one of Louise's books say that on average the expectant father also gains about a stone in weight
