    no riding for me sunday guys. i've been away all week and haven't seen the gf or baby for 3 days. so i think it's only fair i see them :D

    i'll maybe get out for a quick local blast one day but not sure.

    have a good one though if you all get out :D

    oh yeah, and i didn't ride to birmingham :oops: would've been good if i did, i would fly the enduro then :lol:

    me too, but they didn't have xxxxxl in the t shirt so i hope a large will fit :lol:

    yeah, i'm gonna ride my bike to work as often as i can between now and then aswell to get some mileage in a least. 14 miles a day of cycle path has got to be better than nothing :D

    Yeah I been walking to work, then train, then walk.

    I'm not even joking how much of a difference it made on todays ride... I didn't get cramp in my legs and I made it up both the shitty climbs near the start!

    Will definatley be running ignitors front and back for this though!

    Hi guys,

    Sorry I wasn't around on Sunday, I didn't get back from Surrey until 4am Sunday morning so I was in no fit state to go riding, I'm still like a zombie now. Should be good for this weekend end though.

    I need to start looking in to this event aswell, maybe have a chat this weekend if we manage to ride all at the same time.

    On a side note I got the Celica rolling roaded in Surrey and it made 252.5 bhp @ the crank which translates to 195 @ the wheels, happy with that :D
