Seabluegal Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Not been much conversation around these parts lately... where's everyone gone?Anyone out tomorrow evening? (Weather depending...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 yeah, not much been going on.I've been in France (did I mention I was going there?) which was epic. I seriously cannot think of better roads for biking, up, down, hairpins, continous corners, shear drops, riding through clouds, baking sunshine and smooth roads. 1000 miles of bliss sandwiched between 750 miles each way of a bit of boredom, but well worth it.Randomly - Ash, Frank was with us, he's a smooth rider! I suppose you have to be on 600's - we kept up with all the 1000's quite easily. Plus, at the hotel 600 miles into france, we met one of the guys who rides a GS who parks on the grass at the marina! It is the only off-roading they do....I wont be there tomorrow, got work and girlfriend duty. Plus you'll be very lucky with the weather if it stays dry!!here's a video of us going down the col de rousset on the 2nd day I appear around 8 mins, let the nutters on the V4R Tuonos after a couple of mins (on straight) as it got a little mental. After both ends sliding into one corner, I had brown pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seabluegal Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Well after all that boasting from Gubba about his fabulous holiday, I feel that I must boast that I too have been away, although I've only been to Sonisphere Festival and to Devon for a few days!!Weather not looking great for tomorrow night really is it...

Bonniebird Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 We were at TMBF rally at the weekend.Went down the Marina this evening but it was a bit quiet. We were fairly late down there though.Bikes still need cleaning. It was a toss up between riding or polishing!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Seeing as the rowing girls can't organise themselves, might bring bike to work, splash and dash at boat club and then nip in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nman1 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Be good to hear about the trip Dave. Seen some of the pics and as you say the roads look awsome. Would not want to go over the edge on some of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seabluegal Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I should be there tonight, should be goodMCN girls eh? Where are the MCN boys going to be I wonder... I suspect it will be another incident of further active discouragement of women bikers by a popular media figure advertising women as sex objects rather than actual bike riders.I always like to see a stereotype in force...
