What an excellent day for a ride it was. Some stunning views, the inevitable whitty banter from Smithy and Oldbird and a ride cut short for me due to my Scotts frame cracking, making for some interesting snake like handling! ;D ;D Get them photos up soon everyone, I want to see what the rest of the ride was like, you lucky buggers!

Just home now, gutted for you Aled, hope Tweeks sort you right out with a shiny new bike. Could have been worse I suppose, at least you didn't get hurt when it went? Anyway i'm off to have my BBQ so i'll check back for some pics later! Just to add, thanks Gus for a cracking route, and thanks Sal for the water when I was on the verge of collapse : it was so hot out there!

Well that was a pearl of a ride, nice 1 Gus. And some top company.Seen an so the forum cop wasn't about some people were running riot , some idiot wasn't wearin a lid half the time i know it ain't cool nor safe but it was bloody hot up there... Then there was a major run in with a barmy farmer telling us to do 1 off his land Gus an Matt put him in his place cos we did have the right of way..He demanded to know who the leader was and what club we were from,, but nobody caved in so oggys number name and address wasn't released ;D ;D. Poor old Aled another bike bites the dust hope you get it sorted Butch Right Jim jams on a mug of ovaltine and bed.. As If ;D

Sounds like a cracking ride, I'm guessing everyone is now burnt to a crisp, what a day Gutted about the frame Aled but it sounds as if Tweeks are sorting it out straight away which is good news Smithy, I ain't surprised u werent wearing a lid, must be bloody hot with that barnet

Looks like you all had a cracking ride. Weather was spot on for a day out on the bike aswell Pictures are good too, really make the ride look like a good one. Particularly like the one of Andy pointing out the way to the beach Aled, Gutted to hear about your frame, however before you embarress yourself in Tweeks, have you checked the handbook you got with the bike to check the maximum rider weight ? Looks like you've gained a few pounds in those pictures
