That was my OH, Matt aka Scorcher and he had no idea what you were one about so either he missed it or was in a world of his own :-??

I think Michael Fish would had called the weather today 'Scattered heavy showers' but luckily we dodged the downpours, and just ended up with wet muddy roads. Hey, could had been worse, we all could had been riding on some lovely empty dry Spanish roads in 25c temps.

Went from clear blue skies and totally dry roads around Lyme Regis to soaking wet from the Sidmonth turning all the way to Exeter.

Had a great first rideout, it was good to meet you all hope it will be the first of many.

Need to look and see what's wrong with me electrics but pretty sure it's the reg/rec

A big thanks to those who take up their valuable time organising the routes, junction marking etc.

Yes sorry to miss that but semi conscious decision last night at a birthday party was i would be in no fit state to ride a pushbike this morning leave alone anything with an engine, Especially as i would have had to bring the little TDR as the 650 rear tyre would not have lasted the trip
