Guys fab day out yesterday. Glad to be back..

Indeed I would say the company was as good as the trails ...which if you know the FOD secret trails is high praise indeed.

Sorry I turned up on the on-one, but I needed something that would stop in the wet as it was my first ride back after various setbacks. Won't happen again ..honest, as the old bikes are primed and ready.

And Dave..great photos ! Glad you enjoyed the deluxe detour

Fabulous dayout yesterday, and no aches or pains today so all good
Great route
Nice folks
Good weather apart from the lunchtime monsoon
I felt better and rode faster generally than last time out which is pleasing on a personal level

And it is officially quicker to get back to mine using the M4 from Chepstow than it is to use the A465
