All looks good boys.....davegs is looking a bit in pain judging by his facial expression eek....however, the pics look grand so they do....but Nigel, oh Nigel.....always wanting to be the centre of attention...dressed as a 6' glow stick......

Ride safe lads....

Yes, if you'd been riding through torrential rain and your waterproofs(?) started leaking and your jeans, privates were soaked and cold like you'd been sitting in a bath of cold water you wouldent look too happy either!! and all these happy people around you bah, makes you sick!!! I was bloody freezing
(in parts!). other than that good day out full marks to Mr Burns!.
Dave (now dry!) GS (heared of foot rot so worried about galloping knob rot but all ok so far..)

I know the wet feeling all too well....not nice @ all, and makes riding both miserable & dangerous.

Glad to hear you are now dry - take care Dave, heal well and enkoy a little r & r....
