Nice to see a few old faces and get out on the bike again, but not happy with the state of my bike when I got back, another two hour cleaning session required

Not far from the Start......about 3 or so miles

Ambulance was there when we got there but I think he was a walking wounded

Looked like he hit the hedge but it was a little difficult to guess what had really happened as there were so many bikes stopped

Why did YOU travel so slow then? it's a public highway - nothing restrained you from overtaking the vehicle in front - it is allowed you know ! ..... there were no group "leaders" as such to dictate a pace, it was left to the individual .... the context of the run should be borne in mind, but so long as people travel safely with a nod to legal limit's, I'm sure the organisers didn't expect everyone to bunch up and travel in a great big "conga-line"

I was thinking exactly that as we approached Holsworthy Beacon, then the rain started which didn't really leave us until we got to Copplestone, so it wasn't really that safe to start passing bikes for much of the route .....

cos i am a good boy who always obeys the rules, never que jumps and sticks to the safe speed limits in the wet and dry conditions that this country provides us with

either that or i had lost the will to live by that time .
