bloody hell that was quick - we planning the next one already!

No worries about changing the route Plowsie, i just like the worcester - stratford bit, the route back from banbury was just intednded to get people back to familiar terratory. I usually do the oxford to worcester bit in about an hour, then a bit less to get to stratford, so it could be done in about 3.5 hours i guess. but i wouldn't say it's a morning run. It'd be better to have a few stops. I can work in some b roads for TheApe too, as this is my hoem turff. there is a great set of hairpins called "fish hill" on the way over the cotswolds that are always worth a play!

As much as I want you to turn up - the other half would prefer it if you were to stay at home. Dont take it personally, its just I have a major case of bike envy and my girlfriend keep reminding me that I have more important things to spend my money on:

1. Mortgage
2. Engagement ring
3. Wedding
4. Handbags
5. Jewlery
6. [insert other girly tat here]

Just kidding - hope to see you at the next meet!

The only thing on that list that mkaes a jot of sense, is to get on the property ladder. Having said that, with the supposed housing armageddon on the way....why not wait for a bit.

Weddings have always been a bit of a mystery to me. Such a waste of money on one day, which is fine if you have money to waste, but when you need it for other things.....

I think i read somewhere that the average cost of a wedding is over £20k, i'm reasonably affluent and would aim to spend £20. :smt045

If you are really tight - Just find a Danish wife - tradition dictates the daughters folks pay...

Property is the first thing on the list - unfortunately I need the 10% deposit so am having to start saving like crazy. As much as I want to get the CBR I fear it may have to wait a bit.
