My bike got lower today but then stuff started falling off

No thanks to the tosser heading up the hill before Coro, stuffed up the first three corners and then got worse. (Me)
Luckily I got all the rest reasonably right, the shiny bits stayed upright.
I've got to get rid of these Macadams, a new set of Z6's is waiting to go on.
Finn and I went back through Thames, there was a bit of gravel around but it wasn't too bad.

You were riding fine Lou. You were fast, smooth and safe... until we hit the motorway traffic and you turned into an angry monster. I get the feeling you don't like traffic very much.

by "stuff" do you mean the thing that holds the hair onto the bike?

Not anger, just some traffic splitting skills I learnt at the Govt's expense.
Are cars the new chicanes?

Next time I join you guys for a ride I'll make sure I don't take my medication. One of you will have to bring a trailer though.

What a good day!
Sitting here with a bourbon, Day Off !!

Yes was a bit of a tiring couple of days, arrived at work soaked, lucky I keep back up clothes at work!
Was my first time riding most of those roads and can see why it is so popular. Think I need to ride it a bit more to help improve my riding.

Let me start with you KF, glad you organised the day, good effort for the early morning departure. Some great photos there, but I must say, where the hell do you hide that thing!!

A few sneeky pics there 1 of which I owe you a

for! Thats a shocker!

Was good to meet alot of people I havn't met before, was nice to have been chasing you all around and thanks for letting me tag along.

Good to see you LB thanks for the great stoppie displays, Awesome!!

Aff, what can I say

Great to catch up! ( or should I say a bit more practise and I might be able to!)

Was nice to have Saul and 2much catch up for a bit. Always a pleasure.

Cheers
