After Roger's cutting comment last year, I've lost 2 stone!

And your point is?

in them hills

do you think that is enough? eat more makes you faster down hill. so you must have a new outfit to wear, don't fall off then keep it upright .no drinking for you then.

sat night ride

A night ride in the hill as well, would get things off to a great start might stand a chance of getting more bacon at breakfast!!!!

Yeah let's go out sat night for a blast in them hills, preferably without lights, we will be guided by the stars

we will be guided by the stars

I'll be busy. You'll have to get your own guide.

Tossers-in-the-Tejeda IV - pre-ride report

Well, after weeks of preparation and last minute panics, ten bikes and gear have now been loaded. One further bike is loaded today at the transport company's depot and then they head for southern Spain.

One of the bikes needs new tyres fitted as soon as it arrives; another has a damaged sump-plug which will get replaced on arrival in Spain (it currently has no oil in it - mustn't over-rev it riding it up the villa's drive ).

And yesterday, when nearly all the bikes were loaded I rang the only person who hadn't arrived and was told "I didn't realise the truck was leaving today"! How many e-mails have I sent about that???

A small advance party will be in Spain on Friday to unload the bikes. Then let the party begin!

Have a fantastic time everyone. I was over in Competa last week and it was really hot, with lots of cold beer to compensate.
