My take on the weekend . . .

Post by Steve T »

First & foremost a huge thank you to Paul & Maria for making us all so welcome, for having worked so hard to get a splendid facility up & running in time and for ensuring that we all had a hot (very hot for some :whistle: ) meal ready and waiting for us when we arrived.

Stats for the weekend:

801 miles ridden
79lt fuel used
Number of new friends I met that I didn’t know I had – Loads
Smiles & giggles – fousands & fousands of ‘em
New sights seen – too many to be added up
Best saying heard – “Oh, shinny bike . . .beep beep . . . “ This from Mrs Toad referring to Mr Toad’s bike buying habit (Hope the thumb gets better soon Jane)
Second bestest saying – “They are not Macaws, they’re MacCraws”. Cheers Jim

All in all, to me, a wholly successful and enjoyable 1st ABR event.

My ride for the weekend, packed and ready to roll – note minimalist packing regime :whistle:

Great pics Steve, the one of Fiona, Dave, the bear and myself's a cracker!

Agreed, big thank you to Paul and Marie, the campsite was a cracker. The curry was tasty, aimed at intermediate curry fans! (Steve found it hot so just perfect for non curry fanatics!)

A great weekend was had.
Honda, the power of dreams.
