OMG! does anyone know where I left my legs, coz I've not brought them back with me, I seem to have a pair of soggy celery sticks instead!!!!!!
I am knackered to the max, but grinning from ear to ear.

Great pics, how far and for how long did you ride ? i may be tempted to tag along if theres another being planned??

phoebian

Was about 23ish miles, took about 6 hours. The ground conditions were sucky in places but it was still fun!

Great ride guys, thanks to cheshley & co for organising/leading the ride, truly awesome even though i'm completely shattered, thanks also to phoebian for the great pics.

I think a big well done to all who attended is in order, splendid turnout.

I'll certainly sleep like a log tonight, work 2moz (good job i sit down and drive buses/coaches)

Thanks once again guys CHEERS...... ':D':D'':D'

We shall meet again..........

What a fab day out with a very cool bunch of folks.... thanks to everyone for making it such a good day...

Cheshley an excellent idea and one that we must continue with.

The wife had to drive home whilst i had a little schnooze got back at 2200 bike untouched in the garage and kit in a pile next to the washing machine tomorrow will do.

@Caz if you find your legs lying about have a butchers and see if you can see mine as well cuck

NDawn

Did you end up following the intended route? Would be interested to see a GPS track if anyone has one, looks like a nice ride.

kangaroo

great ride, i still ache though. nice picys you lot of put up great work.

i must remembe next time, to make sure i have my energy bars/gels with me, if it wasnt for caz and the famous haribo, i would have been energy less about 3/4 of the way around, it gave just the boost to do a bit more

so a BIG thanks to caz

saying that my energy had gone by the last track along side the resivior back to the car, i had to call for a chocolate bar and a dink befoe i made it up to the car park

so whens the next one
if you ever want to do cannock chase i already have a route from the last forum ride up there, i would change it a bit though, probably to include phase II if its open by then

Richie63

Cannock , I was disappointed that I missed the last ride there as I was away so I'm up for that
28th March sound good for anyone :?:

kangaroo

need to check the date phase II opens, cause it wpuld be a shame to miss that

but if anyone wants to come down for a blast around (slow blast) i would be more than happy to take you round

rob_mafia

Would it be ok if I was to rob some of these pics for my personal collection please?

maloo

if there is any of ours that you want just give us a shout and I can send you the full size images

Phase II supposed to be open at Easter I think, which would be the weekend after March 28th.

My legs are a bit achey today but not too bad. Just spent an hour outside cleaning the bike off although I've not stripped it down fully. Brake pads still need taking out as they still sound a bit gritty and the chain is soaking in a bottle of parafin.

I hope we can keep this going, although I think some hilly interval training is in order... :oops:

kangaroo

im thinking of putting all the photos of the day together in the window live group skydrive, it can hold gb's of stuff with a max file size of 50mb
so you could upload your full size images there

here is the link
https://cid-00096ece68862588.groups.sky ... px/.Photos

i cant remember if youve joined the window live group yet or not

id say upload them to the face book group as well, but it takes for ever as you can only do 4 at a time

Legs aching, discovered a few nice bruises from my wipe out and surprised how much my shoulders are aching, I guess due to the bumpy downhill sections. There was a period about two thirds through that felt like hell but we were nearer the end than I realised. Other than that, all was good. I am still chuckling to myself about how red faced I am on the pictures. Cannock sounds like a good idea.

Richie63

Yeah use the piccys I've no problem with that
March 28 was just he next time I'm back onshore with a spare wk/end. I'm then not back till apr 20th for 2 weeks.

kangaroo

im also tweaking some of the pictures so full size would be usefull
here are a couple of examples
