Should be going to Cardiff to watch the match next Saturday but may give it a miss cos it will cost a few quid that I can't really afford at the Moment & havent got digs. We'll see how it goes.
Bloody working next sat but means my bike will stay clean as I gave the chain a big lubing Ooer. Quite please with how my paint job came out in the bike

who cares ... oh. ok ... the midlands. Shropshire
Went for a bibble round yesterday and again today ... not far at all ... only 50 miles or so each time.
Took a look at the bike to see what needs doing
1) Front tyre down to wear indicators
2) Clutch slave cylinder dripping from gasket ... I lost level last year, filled it up and then it seemed to be ok?
3) Back brake doesn't work at all ... funny, never noticed that before (kidding)
4) Clocks steamy as feck
5) Chain in a disgraceful ****** dry state
May need Griftering before the 7th

Should be fine Mike. When we talk about forum meet up, obviously we're just talking the curry in the night. During the day everyone is on their own as there is no group rideout. As you are all fully aware on a rideout if anything happens other riders can be prosecuted in the group. I will tell you the routes I will be going on Saturday and Sunday and if any of you follow then thats entirely up to you but the ride is not a forum meet just the curry.
Glad I got that one cleared up. PS when I go out riding and some of the others follow me I tend to keep at a nice steady pace which is why I probably can't get away from others following me.

Don't worry about keeping up or not Mike, I'm not the quickest and sometimes just let everyone else go. Everyone should ride at the pace they feel comfy with.
I go tail-end Charlie quite a lot, sometimes you have to be the quickest in that role though especially when you get held-up.
But it's never a problem, Mick will be with us and he has to stop for petrol every 5 mins anyway.
