    Drunk when i was younger, out with the lads and that, got sick of it out, drink, drunk, fight, home or copshop :oops: , last drink i had i was 17 am now 40 :shock: , with the money i saved i bought my first road motorbike a shinny new kmx 125. never looked back. first time i went to a pup after that was when the smoking ban was imposed.

    and at the time i was racing up in Scotland on the minibikes lol.

    Good ride all, I was without my 'plodding' crew today (had to try and keep up with the super fit Blackwood Elite and Gareth and sladey :shock: ) thatnks to Ian for pacing me up that road climb - no doubt you could have gone faster Ian :oops: but you got me up there!

    Thanks to sladey and the boys for orgainising, hope you enjoyed your new Lap Gareth, she looks awesome 8) and you christened it too :lol:

    Good ride, look forward to the next one - good to see you all again fellas.

    Shame Kev, I'm beginning to think you don't like us :roll: :lol:

    Hope your enjoying your time away Ben..

    Great ride lads. Thanks too all.
    On a different note I have booked 2 places for Paul and myself for the Cwmcarn Dpwnhill uplift. The date is 10th April. Anyone interested in joining us can you book through www.cwmdown.co.uk.
    It will be a good day, just remember to use bigger tyres.
    Once again cheers all.
    Anyone up for Manmoel 2nd April. Really good natural ride, bit of everything.

    Unfortunatley working next Saturday and Sunday on days so have to miss Manmoel :cry:

    the thought of tackling the downhill on an uplift day scares the bejesus out of me, maybe when skill level improves and i can get a bit of extra protective gear.

    Really want to ride the Gap and W2 within the next month or so, any takers / guide :D
