yeah sorry, phone had plenty of battery, just wouldn't turn on, Oh well, still a good day, new boots, new gloves, few T shirts, gaffer tape and a couple of cargo nets, so nothing much, weather was nice.

Took a long route up there and really enjoyed the back roads, stopped for my fried B/fast and the odd brew along the way, got there for 09.30 or so, after walking through the gates the standard program sellers were there, Having been to the show many times in the past I don't need one, so I politely declined their offer and walked away to hear " Mark??", turned to find the young lady selling was none other than Claire (rider on here), we had a short chat, but as she was working she had to get back, but a nice start to the whole thing.

I was proper tired by 3pm so called it a day, came back via Northampton and called in on Jen, drank a few cups of tea, then stuck the Superduke into supercruise for the run back down the motorway.

doubt I'll be moving much for the next day or two, but expected that, burnt about £100 or so, 286 miles, a nice weekend in my book .

Now I've some bike racing to catchup on......


Cheers Mark.
