Well...what can I say? Good company, nice chat, roads fantastic but...shame about the weather this afternoon! ??
Weather started out great, roads were a bit damp in places but we could keep a good pace...then after going up, over and through the clouds (got a bit damp), we got hit by a little rain!:-) ..waterproofs needed for the rest of the ride out!
thank God sbd1078 mentioned his heated grips cos I forgot I had them fitted to mine!...dedaaahh gloves sort of got a bit dryer! Lol

Anyway no complaints here, was a good day out with some new friends :-)

Just walked in to my place (Sheffield) decided to stop off here first as i wanted some dry clothes.

Did i mention it was wet? just to say every orrafice on my body has been violated by cold water!

Got to say had a great time. nice roads and great guys to ride with. Even Jo rode well, for a girl.

Good to meet some new faces too you know who you are! hope to see you all again soon. Oh and PS jo I dont know what you were worried about the weather it was fine, maybe next time we could do it in the summer.

Summer?? When is that then? Perhaps we could try a continental ride out? May even find some dry roads to play on! Woooohooo!

Oh I didn't know zx12's had turbos? Or is that just when stuie farts a lot? Lol extra impulse power! Lol
Could have done with that heat to dry the roads! ;-)

Til next time.... A2P

Must say thanks to Exup for showing us the way on the welsh roads! Was a pleasure mate, even if I didn't have a clue which way the road went! Lol

Hasta pronto amigos

Really sorry guys, i forgot to ensure Stuie had his cork with him !

On the plus side you seem to have enjoyed yourselves immensely even if you did have to cope with Stuie (aka Fart Pants) and getting a tad damp.

Well done to RB and Exup for sorting another excellent Welsh one!

Glad I did the extra 100 odd miles after it cleared, the wind mostly dried out my kit, hope the weather ain't so schizophrenic next weekend for the 'No Bull, Just Beer and Bikes' Rally. Some serious mileage there A2p, yes GPSB, a Stuie warning would of been appreciated lol
