We arrived at BP expecting to meet the other 20 KBers for the 10.30 ride.

...But, we were too late, they must've already left !

What a lovely wet day for my first ride after a lay-off of 6 months. TW and XR Johnny dragged me out for a ride up the Dartmoor valley.

Dooly, were you in a car when you spotted us at Fernhill?

Missed you Crazyhorse.

Tried out my new Dririder Jacket and Neo pants !

& test driving the leg/wrist.

COOOOOOOL riding gravel again...you guys would have loved it.

Here are some pics of today's little ride.

Went down to Norsewood for COFFEE after lunch Satdy and had good run down and most of way back hitting rain @ Clarksons Hill on 50
She and I enjoyed the brew and a nice apple tarty/pie thingy

Tony/DrGirl/XRJohnny - you all look like youve enjoyed the day out the backblocks - looks like the bridge into Mangatutu Stn ? - poaching pricks !

A great way to spend a rainy Sunday . Also a good test for some of our new clothing. Getting more aggresive on the XR6 now , heaps of sideways action. TonyW proved he doesnt melt when it rains & went hard on the gravel with road tyres on. Well done to DRGirl for proving she is really HARD.

pic. Waited at pub for ages for any other bikers to show up.
