for everyone

With a personal new found enthusism to ride its off to the Tuesday night ride meet just as the bottom falls out of the sky. Oh well at least I'm hard enough to go is my one consoling thought. I can let rip on the blog about how macho I am to be out in this crap weather, to the other no-shows. 

6 riders.....what the.....????.....no turning back now then as we set off on a road based ride. No chance, a good dose of woods and masses of leaves and a whole load of gravel tracks meant a good dirty session, but as it pissed down solid all night it didnt seem to stick.

Wet and warm and certainly no moaning (very un-pom like) from anyone about the rain...Top ride.

Totally agree, great ride. Although i have just checked my bike and it's covered in race venue stanwick grit, perhaps should have headed into the lake to get rid!!

I arrived home at 9pm soaked to the skin after the road bash back from Thrapston. Bike looks remarkably clean. New boy (Tony?) coped okay when Stu and I got a bit enthusiastic on the climb from Slipton. I reckon he will be back next week unless England thrash SA at the weekend.

So how did Tony get involved, I thought he was that guy we met at Brigstock when we all got "confused" for a while. ????
