A video that Youtube has managed to degrade to pretty poor quality, but it gives you a taste of the weekend's riding.

Had a great weekend with some great company. Big thanks to Dave for organising the event and to Cliff for a great rideout.
Some memorable quotes.
" I burnt my arse on the fookin' light bulb " and " The fire is going right into the crack" had me in tears of laughter.
Didn't take many pics but will post up what I've got if they're any good.
Good to see Graham back on the bike.

I've placed a slideshow of most of the good photos into PhotoFeckit until I can put them in a gallery on the site.
They're in chronological order (I think) and have been resized to speed up down loading.
If anyone wants a full size version (7-10Mb) just holla.

Great weekend and likewise, never laughed as much recently. Brilliant all around.
Loved the Saturday ride-out with Cliff, Ian and Sam. Laughed a lot at that too especially Cliff trying to explain to Studders that the last leg back to camp had just shot up from 18 miles to 187 !!! haha. Turned out to be about 40.
These get better every year and look forward to the next one !
Cheers Again Dave for the getting together.
Cheers Cliff for the Sat ride-out mate.
Cheers to Sam for the same great company.
Well done Ian for taking the trophy too - well deserved mate.
And cheers to you all for a great weekend and meeting up again and some new faces !
Safe riding
Tone

I believed you. In fact, if Louise was permanently working behind that bar, I think you'd move house to make it your local! You were smitten
