I'm doing it, slot 4. If you see me pootling up the A1 tomorrow, give me a wave....

[Rosie]

Well I have dug out my thermals and my textiles..... so it will be a good day regardless.

Inevitably I will get lost

[Rosie]

Sorry for delay on posting - been otherwise engaged.....

but to complete the thread.....

A very, very wet day but an absolutely awsome one!!

A very humbling experience as well.

I was back marker for a couple of runs ( second run was a different route but hey ho we just followed the Police!!!)

There were loads of folk there - so much for "fair weather riders" - will try and post some pics to demonstrate.

If you were there sorry I missed you - but I waved to loads of bikes as they were leaving for their runs.

A thank you from the Brigadier
