Was good to see old friends again, and made some new ones to. Thanks to those who made it happen, I'll be back next year.

It was good to finally meet some of you today.

Next time I'm coming along for the whole thing and stuff what the misses says.

And finally I've updated my pic....think some of you might approve.

Trouble is if you come by bike next year you won't have my favourite dog with you. :angry:

LOL, you'll have to come on a Northants green lane rideout. We usually start at my house with a cooked breakfast, then you'll get to see the dog!

Think I'm going to dig the XT out of the back of the garage today and get it ready to go off for repair. I need to hear it run.

Well i just arrrived home after an unexpected night on the east coast, and what a great weekend its been. A MASSIVE thanks to everyone there especially the organizers and Dubber & Jimbo f650 for helping me out and generally being great. It was my first ABR rally so didnt really know what to do or what to expect, but everyone was realy friendly and helpfull. It was great to meet new people literally from all over europe. I hope mart gets well soon, it does look quite swollen.

Ill try and get some pictures up later.

Now ive just gotta see if i can get the time off for Ullapool :woohoo:

Cheers
