Thanks Alun, Unice & Dave for laying on a very nice rally & an excelent ride out on the Cotswolds lanes.
Bit hard & dusty which made for an enjoyable brisk pace.
Turn out was about par for the course with 55% of the promises showing.
Only took a couple of pictures, here they are:-
Nathan hauling the mighty new road tyre shod V-Strom 1000 up a tricky incline.
P.S I know we shouldn't complain, but next year please don't order the sun twice :whistle:

Lightness is everything.

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Great to meet you all. The ride out was awesome. Even the ride home was fantastic. More update when I've had some rest. Thanks Treadtrader and all
And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.

I'm normally full of sh*t, but not after Friday night ! :whistle: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
Great to speak with the people I did, sorry to have missed the chance to speak and ride with others,but I got a bit of a bug Friday night that wrecked my guts. All I could do was head the 100miles back home without a ride out.
Pleased though, that so many had a good time (thumbs)
