No worries, hope she's worth it! 

The rest of us will be enjoying one of the last decent weekend " :faz -time" sessions before winter arrives!

Sorry all, I can't make tomorrow's ride. I've had a week from hell which means I'll be working tomorrow.


I ride throughout the winter and as long as the weather is decent would still like to meet up in coming months, so I hope there will be more Lofo rides this year?


Hope you all have a good one

OK Change of plan.

I shall not be meeting anyone at the Ace cafe as previously arranged. I will be riding straight to HG (Oxford) from home. This means I get an extra hour in bed.

I will also be joined by my good friend Ivan - The Black Ninja, Grand Master and multi dan of all things Karate and self defence. He will be riding his Black Ninja and , like myself, is no slouch on two wheels. Also by the time we get to Oxford I should have run in my New Diablo Rosso Corsa ready for the days proceedings.

CU tomorrow.

Oh yeah, I forgot, I've got a new pair of PR2s to scrub in! Should be ok if the roads are dry  :lol

[nick crisp]

A bit foggy here at the mo, but doesn't look too bad, will probably clear quite quickly.

Bill, food stop at Llandovery..... er, no, wrong ride out!
Food available at Hein Gericke burger wagon (not bad, no dodgy guts so far!), later who knows, whatever we can find - you could always bring a packed lunch!

1st sunday of EVERY month Fuzzy.

Good, hopefully next month I won't sitting here looking at spreadsheets  :'(

Looks lovely outside where I am. Hopefully it'll last the whole day and you'll all have a nice dry ride  :thumbup

[slimwilly]

I am leaving now, i have invented a new game " find the lost foocers" :lol


if i get to Chippenham then ride north i should meet the lost souls, saying "where are we"   "Nick! Nick!

[nick crisp]

An enjoyable day out, sunshine all day once we got going, and the route worked ok (worked out by picking wiggly roads on the map and joining them up in a loop  :lol ). After Liam (Dead Eye) got a bit excited and got to the meeting point an hour and a half before everyone else, and then had a very long wait as Kosmic and friend were delayed, the timing worked out pretty well, met with Slimwilly at the lunch break at Chippenham (could be some interesting video coming soon!), and blasted back along the A4 with people splitting for home as was convenient. Yes, all in all, I think it worked ok - I was a little concerned as I've been on plenty of group rides, but never planned and lead (most of) one before. Liam did an excellent lead on part that he knew pretty well too - cheers for that  :thumbup
Good to meet you Paul (esetest), hope to see you on another ride soon!
And of course, I hope everyone got home safe and sound 

Hope someone else got some good piccies, as mine refuse to post 

[Dead Eye]
