Rode on and turned off at the B7000, and that wasn't too bad, then headed down the Corsock road OMG, got a few hundred yards, and thought UH OH, this IS NOT good, pot holes galore! There was shed load of shingle covering at least 2/3ds of the width of the road so had to ride on either side of it on what felt like a 10" strip of road!
Rounded a left handed bend after being able to get up to 30mph!! and what did I see simply stood on either side of the road as well right in the middle, and in no particular fashion..........A great big herd of bloody cows! Had to negotiate my way around them! Eekkkk!!
Dave had already gone, a mere distant puff of smoke on the horizon
He wasn't hanging around for me and even said later "it was each man for himself" charming 
When my mate Emma rang me last night and gave me the route plans of what and where we have to be, it DOESN'T INCLUDE that bloody road, only the riders are going down there!! so I didn't have to do that road after all..
and when I told my daughter about today on the phone,she was howling and said "you know mam, if they had charged you, it would been like 'buckaroo' pml.. eeh,we laughed so much about it today I cried, but it wasn't funny yesterday....To top it off, I got home so peed off, I decided to go out on a faster run on nice normal roads seeing as most of my ride was ruined, so off I went..5 mile down the B729 I saw a car on a bend stopped, so I slowed down to pass, notice the cpl were stood by the car, obviously waiting for someone (RAC) and off I went. A bit later, I was coming back and they were still there, only the police were in attendance and then I saw the problem, as couldn't see it from the other direction as back of their car was behind me...THE WHOLE PETROL TANK had fallen off!!!
Petrol all over the side of the road....I have never ever seen a petrol tank on the road! So off to bed early as have to be at the Castle for 7.15am..omg, my day off, and how early..I'll be sure to get some piccies if I can capture things quick like...
