Norfland Ride-22/7

What about that stupid looking roundabout with a TREE in the middle of it?
At Whale bay, the one with the loose metal?, well i went the wrong way around by choice, after the front wheel decided thats where it wanted to go.
Funny thing was, that the bike's behind (yes behind me) followed me....

Spoke about it at the next regroup, and others had the same problem

What ya mean you had to keep an eye on me????
I was behaving myself the whole time.

Once you split off to go home, the others took off at warped speed...
Only caught up to one of the others later on (wearing a red jacket)

At least I spotted Kittyhawk at the Wellsford gas station and signalled her to catch up to us....

i gotta say, one of the best things about these roads was the lack of traffic! I think there were more bikes on the ride than there were cagers i had to pass.

**oldguy** · 23rd July 2006, 23:06

Ive still got more, will sort tomorrow

OMG...the shame of it!! I kept stopping to give you some tail lights to follw so you'd know where the rd was going as I'm well aware that it can be "interesting" for a virgin. Mate...just spit on it a ride the thing
