    Thanks for that quake, but I was hoping to find somewhere a bit nearer, I see theres a caravan park at Carlton which is not far away, I'll give them a bell.

    I can do sunday too, just not saturday as my friend has confirmed she has time in her busy diary to see me!

    I'm definately up for wednesday (aslong as i'm either back for three or four onwards, but don't worry if it is over that time, i'll just have to come and play another day), skin is waterproof isn't it! ha ha! but like you say, aslong as its not torrential!
    delightfully dangerous!

    I had a good time on Sunday, like everyone says its good to meet up. I will be OK on Weds, I can start around 4pm and as long as I can get back home for 7pm.

    Barkey> Just downloaded some of your pics from Sunday and from our ride on the Moors, some decent pics there pal.

    haha, well i suppose so! its just i start work on a wednesday at 6:15am and finish at 5:30pm. So 7pm is like the earlist i could appear in Hull for :P

    It was just a slim chance that you lot would be doing more an evening ride then anything! To be fair, i could be alittle rushed to make it for 7pm as it was!

    I can make both wed and sun (if local), and any time is ok for me, best bet is to make Wednesday ride suited more for those that can not make Sunday and Vice versa for Sunday ride.

    I'll let you work what's best.

    the last few evening rides i've done on a thursday, we've finished about 9pm and its just about the right time. But doesn't give you much time, perhaps a couple of hours before it gets to dark to ride without lights.

    good ride on sunday, nice to meet you all.... again, some of you!

    been looking at the footage from both the cams on the bike and found that the new bike cam is quite crap, spending most of the time bouncing around and my helmet cam is great!. :lol:

    your all film stars in the shop now! LOL :roll:

    can someone point me in the directions of the photos please. i am especially interested in my reaction of seeing a hobbit like giggsmaster hiding behind a tree while i was sliding toward him! :lol:


    i cant make wed as im golfing. should be up for sunday ride, hopefully sporting my new hydro brakes i realised i needed after smelling the remains of the cable ones! LOL :oops:

    ill try and convert the vids for upload, it doesnt do it justice though. when its running at 640x480 (30fps)without audio, the run through raywell scout camp and the single track just after takes up 130mb! :shock:...... the good cam runs at 1 gig per hour!


    after a quick convert, i think it will look poo to be honest! .... ill give it a shot.
