    Gutted i couldn't make this…got up at 7.30…got dressed, went to fill the bike up and had to rush home for a poo. Got the shits and vomiting…had it all week... theres no way i would risk a run out unless i had to throw my leathers out half way to wales.


    Gutted. To say I'm pissed off is an understatement..

    Sorry guys. "unleash the hounds"
    Yep, amazing day, really good to catch with you all, Lee did a great job regarding the route and leadership! you all rode well, very well Infact. sadly I lost the front leaders and made a bad directional decision, still didn't detract from the fact I found myself on an amazing road "A485?" I'm used to riding alone ain't I :D
    But IMO it was too much of an ask to hold the group up waiting for the lame duck so I just told them to keep to the plan.
    Amazing day, regardless, we need a night out now, because I lost 3 1/2 hours of being with you all.
    Had a couple of lads tag onto me at Elsmere, I was going to let them go, then I said to myself NO! If they want to pass? Then they will, really enjoying this new found skill, long may it continue.
    Not many but pics to follow.
    Thanks for having me "some of the time" ;)

    Well this morning we decided to go to Crossgates and meet the gang there , pointless us riding 28 mile to ride it back again
    In an hour , so off we went , took are time riding to Crossgates , road a bit wet under the trees , but we got there safe and sound, none of the lads there so a breakfast was ordered and bloody enjoyed it was too , within about 40 mins the Gang turned up and a bit of banter , coffee , snack, and off to Aberystwyth we went , we kept at the back cause we were two up and did not want to slow anyone up , ,,,,,and after a good ride we were in aber , onto the sea front for fish & chips , ice creams, coffee , bloody slush puppies :D,
    Then off to dol , in Mac there's a turning right and I pulled over and told the lads I've just seen someone go the wrong way , but it was too late to do anything about it , and we carried on with the route planned , , got to dol and we found out it was are organiser that was missing :D, but after a few calls it was back on the gas to Bala , then corwen for coffer and cake , then we said are goodbyes and headed for home , we have had a bloody great day , good weather , lovely bikes ,
    And fantastic company , great to meet up with everyone , oh..... Kevin sort your bloody tail tidy out ....;),
    Until the next time , thank you very much for making us welcome , sorry if we held you up a bit , but we are two up ,
    Thanks mr & mrs B .....;)

    After setting off at 06:50 and returning home at 20:00 with an additional 405 miles on the clock. I'm home. Pics later, got to faff about with photobucket in the morning. What Barney means by sorting out my tail tidy, he means I should fit one, as he doesn't like my wobbly backside. Great day out.

    Top marks to Kevin1 most guys on here would only do this sort of mileage in six months and remember he could have took the easy option of a nice soft day out in Yorkshire .Great old dude and top bloke.
