i did think of camping B) ...but it only lasted about .03 of a second :sick: figuring a 200 mile trip would be more fun than lying in a oversized condom in a muddy feild followed by pissing in a bottla by torchlight :laugh:

Big thanks to "skygod" for leading the ride out, and to the others for helping push me up various hills and so on :blush:

Good photos there Minky and glad you enjoyed the day out. I particularly like the one of EXRM193 picking his bike up on Pindale, you've certainly got his best side!!

Hi Mick, Thanks again for taking over the ride, all said they had a great day and what a top bloke you are.

Would love to take you up on your offer of a tour sometime next year would be great.

Cheers Jez.
