Well, what a weekend that was.

A few casualties - Wolfie's knees, Venom's Knee, Luckypants elbow and ribs, Baaaaaadger's lungs/thighs/back, Drew's ring (fnaaar), my gears today, and just me generally yesterday.

A few funny sights - Venom disappearing into the ditch, Wolfie wandering around Tesco's in Drew's trackie bottoms and no socks or shoes.

Pacman was hard work for me yesterday - I think it was the first climb that didn't help, however Llandegla today was a right giggle.

Big thanks to Mike for the awesome breakfasts, and everyone else for all the pi55taking, pointing and laughing and giggles.

And apologies for my little wind issue last night

Top weekend guys, look forward to the next one - I'll remember to take my lube next time

We did Penmachno as a recovery ride because we were all feeling a bit knackered. Mistake My mate Dave nearly killed us all in his fury, luckily he was too tired to catch us

So I may well go for that unless Halfrauds have a better deal on the Boardman, as both are similar specs
They're nice those. Not very good wheels but otherwise ace. Usually I'd say get a Carrera Fury though, they're even acer but they've just put the price way up so that come xmas they can say "Look, £200 off!".
