Was gonna do the Mayday run down to Hastings but no MOT on bike so couldnt make it. Pissed it down in London for most of the day so probably the same over most of Kent so doubt many poeple except the hardcore went out for the run. But went to London for the day with the girlfriend instead, feet are killing me still!!!

Yeah, me and Bozzie went out and did about 100 miles up and around matlock/bakewell/ashbourne.

Was wondering about the wisdom of it as it pissed it down for the first ten miles or so, but then it cleared up and was sunshine for most of it.

Good ride. A6 was pretty congested, but once we turned off we managed to find some pretty good back roads.

We'll have to do it again some time. Think the redditch crowd ought to get themselves in gear and have one down that way first though! (are you listening Baz?)

Should be able organize a couple of meets in nottingham later in the summer deviant as my brothers moving down there for his uni placement at rampton so will be visiting the area frequently. Seems like a good excuse for a rideout

Bugger!

I went for a lonesome ride on my own in the rain and sat bored for the rest of the day with no plans whatsoever!!! (apart from BSB at 3pm)

Every Wednesday is Waterman night near Warwick, and we're there via Redditch almost every week.

I also want to get to the Bikers Cafe sometime, and do my usual Bridgenorth to Ludlow to Bewdley route...
