Never mind Dunc, you got to see me at The Chalet anyway Laughing .

It was going so well up to Winchester, then i sprang a leak! I'm pretty sure it was Bacon throwing stones at me, and one punctured my radiator.
A very very nice man came along within 45 mins and poured his "stuff" into the cooling system (see "Technical Questions") to get me on my way again.

Thanks for the lead Wivvy, some great roads there, and thanks for your company guys. I'm just sorry I wasn't with you longer Crying or Very sad .

Great ride today guys, thanks for letting me tag along. Clearly though I need to get myself a weekend sports bike if I'm going to keep closer to the front.

Glad to hear you got sorted Jimbo, the one advantage of having an aircooled bike is I dont have to worry about punctured radiators!

Thanks for that Wivvy, was definitely a good ride that, enjoyed it, even the humpback bridge and gravel avoiding.
Some stickier tryes could be required for next time I think. (maybe a new bike too)? The TT got used properley today Very Happy .

Nice to see everyone, if only briefly Laughing

The pace was a bit above my comfort level Embarrassed And after a slide on gravel I totally lost my nerve. Glad you all had a good rest of the ride Very Happy

I was aiming for my comment to be the lowest form of wit! I should have added a Razz .

And I appreciate that. I never felt pressured at any time, and everyone waited if I fell behind. I just felt I was pushing myself too hard, frustrated at myself for not being able to keep up. That'll come with experience though I suppose (and a faster bike, Laughing )

Thanks again all, genuinely nice group of people to ride with!
