This is the sight that greeted me as I came over the Clwyd Gate this evening as I came home (typing is hard as a bottle of wine has passed my lips...............)

Hope to see you soon buddy

Just want to add my thanks to Mike for organising and leading us all around the peak district.
Oh and a huge thanks to Mike for carrying around a set of hex keys that Suzuki-supplied tool kit is a waste of space
Without which I'd have been hand-tightening the nut and then checking every 15 minutes

Great day - thoroughly enjoyed it ... oh and I'm late posting cos when I got home I had to get all my stuff ready for my jaunt down to Coventry first thing in the morning

Can't wait for NW3 now Bring it on!

Oh, and that ice at Derwent/Ladybower was baaaaaad ... don't wanna do that again

Cheers everyone - nice to see most of you again, and good to see Si (5hort5)!

A la Pete and Lissa's ride for the south midlands, lets have a bit of feedback.

How was the ride for length?

How did the marker system work for you?

How did you feel about riding in a group?

Did you feel pressured to keep up and why? (no names, no pack drill)

Anything you did / didn't like?

All feedback welcome
