[Ogmios]

Only my 2 cents but....

Wish i was near enough to join you!
Anyone reading this - just go and DO IT!
~ it's blardy good fun.
~ you will learn a lot about your Bikes handling and (no offence but) how little of it you use.
~ Prizes too?! - you lot are spoilt over there!

Seroiusly - i've been involved in a few of these sort of events and if you are prepared to leave the ego at home and have a go - you will get a lot out of it and it is a great laugh too.

 

[Martyn B]

Aye thank you!

Thanks for the bump Ogmios - it should be a laugh (not worth doin' otherwise) and to answer your question Colts - we'll have got everything ready by 10:00 am and we'll be there till 5pm.

The Sultan buying breakfast???? I am sure with his athletic figure he only eats healthy food
He wouldn't dream of eating a full english

Hopefully the weather will be good on Saturday or at least the rain will be warmer It is summer you know.

Did one in Yorkshire last Sunday

Even in pouring rain and gales .... it was well worth doing

Do a slow riding skills event if you get a chance its worth it

 

[Martyn B]

Good to go!

Thanks for the plug Earwig (may be a pun there somewhere )

The cones arrived this morning and as long as the Friday night piss-heads don't redistribute them overnight, we're all set...
