My vote is to cancel for a better day. What does everyone else think?

Bunch of fair weather pansies the lot of yous!!!

Heavy rain? pah, nothing on last week, light drizzle if that. As for debris on the road, there wasn't that much, but I wasn't exactly hooning around either. Still, I spent a good 5 hours or so out in the wet. Great for confidence building & putting in to practice some of that advanced riding stuff. I can also verify now that anyone with a wet front plug, it can be fixed for as little as £5 (or a cup of coffee if you let me know as I can bring the grease & wrench/socket).

I went out because it was wet as I wanted to test the front plug was fixed.

I didn't see you because you were behind me, like usual - steady now! I bet you had a good laugh on the water Mike, loads of impressive water around the Swallow Falls area. Has to be the highest I've seen BYC in a long time.

Should have been there on the 10th then!



The section down from Ugly House to B-Y-C was too high for for us. We did the Nant Gwryd in medium level. Was ACE!

It was a bimble mate, I felt like I was pushing it when I was doing NSL-ish speeds. I don't have net access at home & Mike told me the meet was cancelled last weekend, so I just went out by myself to test the front plug - thats why I wanted to find water.

Anyhow, Mike will start waving his big stick in a min - derailling the current meet thread with details of the last meet
