The weather forecast for Sunday 23 august is looking pretty good.

I checked Valley Road today near Colyton today. There are still roadworks so instead of turning left at Colyton we'll just carry on to Ashurst, turning sharp left at the bottom of the hill into North Street.

See you all 10.00 a.m. BP Feilding.

If I come, that's where I'll be too. Don't wait, might have something else on the go so not sure I'm coming yet.

A nice run today. Thanks everyone for making it a great day. Pemberton road was a nice variation. Bugger about the flat bandit (1200) on the road. Low point was we went out with 3 Alistairs and only came back with 2, One of our riders taking a tumble and hitting the road. It doesn't look too bad, nice leathers bud rib cage is a bit painful. So he got a free ambo ride .... eventually.

When I know more on his status I will let you know.

Oh and funny award goes to Monamie.

LOL. Riding at the back. Going slow???

Thanks 3Dkiwi for a great day out.

Yes, a real shame about the mishap. Hope he & bike are ok. Had a great ride and got to ride a Tigger again...

Good ride had by most,bugger about bikes crashing,my bandit handles strange if tyre pressure is under 32psi in front,much better at 36psi(reccomended pressure).
Hope the ribs recover quick,but sure as shit they won't ala mine still sore.

**86GSXR** · 23rd August 2009, 21:57

A most excellent day for riding. The highlights for me were the Apiti loop, chasing Cowboyz through to Pemberton, my ride on the Connie

and chasing Cowboyz and Sarge back over Vinegar Hill.

Really sorry about Alistair, hope he's OK.

An email from Alistair (the 3rd)

Hi All

Not flash for me yesterday. Still don't know what happened. The front was diving a bit under braking. All I remember was the front ducking in and a front washout. Its possible the brakes locked, new brake pads?

Anyways I am fine except for bruising and a broken rib, hurts like a bitch though. Got to sleep sitting up can't breathe to hard, cough or
laugh

Good to hear that the rest of the ride was okay. I still have to pick up the bike, its pretty battered.

Cheers for now

Alastair
