I'm on my way!

Yet another great weekend, thanks to GULG, Keithblade, Stumpy & SteveD. Sorry we left on Saturday but we had suffered constant rain from the Wednesday. As usual a great do with great people with constant laughs.

Just got back home and unloaded the bike. Thanks for a fab weekend as allways and big thanks to all the guys for organising/providing bits and bobs.

Really enjoyed getting muddy out on the trails on Friday and found out that I am supprisingly good at this new sport of 'Hike A Bike'.

Looking forward to seeing piccies and videos from everyone.

Here comes the 'What have a learnt this weekend???' section-

'Man Meat' apparently CAN be shared amongst a group of burly bikers and be mightily enjoyable!

Midlanders have become the official North to South Language translators

And StumpyDave needs B**ch Slapping repeatedly apparently. :hahaha[1]:

Cheers all.

Finally back to my flat in Edinburgh and unpacked my bike.

Big thanks to all those who made this weekend possible and to all those who turned up and I talked jubberish to!!!

Photos and videos hopefully to come shortly

Cheers everybody for another great weekend! the sun even appeared for a bit! Also cheers to dad aka Steve D for helping me up some of the trails :) Thanks Midlife Crisis for the introduction to Man meat a previously unknown concept! I am still laughing thinking of it!
Jim.

The 300 miles there and 300 back in driving rain has finished of my chain and sprockets, the suspension linkage is squeaking like a basterd and the cable ties gave up holding the mudguard together somewhere on the A17. Bothered? Not a bit – The sorry looking piece of filth sitting in the garage waiting for some TLC is testament to a thoroughly enjoyable weekend!

I thank you all. :)
