Neilo, I'll be in matlock for around 5ish but in the (hopefully muddy) shogun.

I win, I win

First one back from Matlock to post a thread

Only got to the meeting point at about 11.20am after 75 mile journey. Just got there and noticed about 10 Storms in a line ready for the off!!!!!

Joined the back of the group and off we set. Lasted about 5 miles before I lost em all. Headed for the Cat & Fiddle for a cuppa and some grub on me own.

20 mins later the familiar sound of Storms could be heard entering the car park

What are the chances of that!!!! Oh yes, and the Blade lot turned up as well at the Cat & Fiddle.

Anyway, I'm sure someone will post a more detailed account of the ride and the weekend. Just wanted to make sure I was first

Thanks guys for a brilliant weekend.
Special thanks to Silverzipper for the excellent ride out, and the Indian.

Decided to get away early Sunday and try to beat the weather and traffic.
Weather was OK but got caught up in the traffic over the Cotswolds (can't see whatthe attraction is there anyway).

Now sitting on a nice soft chair for a while.

Cheers

Who was it who mentioned a track day at Cadwell in August??

We (my son and myself) are definately up for two places (TZR250 and the SP).

Got back in about half an hour ago, got a bit of drizzle from Rivvy onwards but that was it.

Had a good ride down to matlock yesterday, arriving just as some of you were heading off home. Had another good ride back today, it's not often I enjoy riding in a group but I did today.

Hope everyone got back safe and sound. Lookin forward to the next time.
