Yeah, great ride. Many thanks Si for the route. Very nice to meet those of you I managed to speak to, I'm sorry I didn't get to talk to more of you, there were loads of us! :D Easily the biggest rideout I've been on. I left early to take the kiddywinky to the park, so I hope you all had a good lunch and ride home. 8)

Rideout was brilliant. Gave the bike a good thrashing haha. Had to leave a little early to get some logs delivered that i was out at 6 this morning sawing up. Food at the Pub was lovely. My sandwich had more Brie in it than you could shake a stick at lol

Im back home now and my ears are ringing and my gooch is sore :shock:

Cracking rideout, i think ill be junction marking more often if it means blasting back to the front again :mrgreen:
Nice to see some proper dirrrrty bikes too :wink:

The only bad point was the constant bl**dy carb icing,i think ill be investing in a giant drum of pro FST.

Roll on the summer.

I broke my bike :(

Left it in Guzzers and Ricky-t's garage just about managed to get it there. Thanks guys :!:

Chain slipping off the sprocket, sprocket wobbling, wheel wobbling, felt horrible.
I'm guessing either cush drive or wheel bearings. :(

Was well surprised at the turnout, we took about 12 from Newton then met another 10 or so at bridge and at Tivvy i counted 46 bikes then another 5 turned up who had gone for fuel so we cracked the 50 mark, excellent route as allways and good food at the pub as well, loads of new faces, nice to see in this recession we can still go out and waste £25 of fuel and have a bloody good time doing it. Thanks to the organisers and the junction markers as well :) :) :) :)
