Yup, makes sense. I'm just off the ring road so use it often and I agree, the roubdabouts are excellent - especially when the lights are green :d

Will try some of the roads you just mentioned and have a look on google maps. Been over the bridge a few
times and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed myself, even though I wasn't that quick!!

. Had them done about 6 weeks ago so called the guys this evening and i will be taking it down in the morning. The guy I spoke ot said that occasionally when the fork seal goes back in, it doesn't sit purely flush and so allows oil through. He said it hardly ever happens, but they will be sorting it out for me as a matter of priority as I told them I needed the bike for Thursday night.

There's an issue with too much fuel going through and I also need to get a new, good battery asap as this one is foobarred.

Other than that, i couldn't be enjoying it any more!

Don't worry about the fork to much, there are ways round that if it is going to stop play for you on Thursday. And its something that I've done myself. Replaced the seals on my SV and within a couple of days it blew again. When I did it I didn't think it went in quite right and guess what...

As for the battery/ fueling, answer in your other thread.

Now to the subject of new riders...

New riders are more than welcome. We were all one once. The only thing to remember is to ride at your own pace and for yourself.

Oh, and be sure to enjoy the ride.

Seconded, and it won't be at breakneck speed either... Because I'm leading and I've not done this route before

Wish me and Lily could come and play, but its the day after my leaving party in Cheltenham.

Well, I'll have the route saved in the Satnav so we can always do it again

; )

Coolio. When we doing "that thing" again?

fizzwheel · 18-05-10, 08:22 PM

I'm already doing a ride that day, on my pedal bike. Word of warning. The route I am doing is going up Cheddar Gorge and then down Burrington coombe. Its quite a popular ride. Theres almost a 1000 people on the entry list, IMHO you'd be wise to avoid that area...

But if you are going that way, let me know. I could use a tow up the gorge
