Don't worry. With the rain forecast for this weekend it should be back up to par for the next

We had shit loads of rain in the midlands this weekend so it should've dampened things a bit, I quite like the dry rocky lanes tbh, more speed :)

The local forecast for next weekend is good – warm and sunny.

The Bog of Doom is looking a little less wet and a lot more sticky, just like in my profile pic.

The lanes are dry with good traction and if the current forecast holds good should be big bike friendly for all those who fancy a bimble around the wonderful Cotswold countryside.

Charles the farmer has given the campsite a haircut and stacked up enough logs for us to attract the attention of passing aliens.

All looking good for a great weekend.

As I know the area fairly well and done the lanes loads of times, I've been thinking I should really offer to lead a ride if it's needed, was thinking of doing them backwards and/or doing them in a different order to spice it up a bit.

No probs, as I'm on a drz, I would prefer to lead a group of similar bikes though :) :whistle:
