Here it is guys. The ultimate proof you need that when you go out at night you are actually riding a bike and not just looking into parked cars!

Quite pleased with this one and the footage was even better before it was uploaded...

Thanks guys - I should be able to make it down on Tuesday then. I will be on something decidedly un-retro, as my Trailstar is still in pieces.

I figured as much, but thought it would be rude not to prove my credentials at some point!

Nice work Geoff, I managed 10 miles at about the same speed, only 40 to go then!

In my defence, it was bloody muddy!

Come on Geoff, give us a break... :shock:
John and I repeated Thursday's route with no punctures or mechanicals. Wasn't particularly frantic, but it was most enjoyable.

See you Tuesday.
