Team UKRM Donington

Went up today to see our valiant boys (and girls) doing their thing.

Bloody top entertainment it was too, shame I had to leave prior to the end,
but all seemed to be hanging together, with Champ on his second stint in the
rider's seat.

Really good vibe too, I was made to feel really welcome. It was more like a
bunch of mates having fun, but well organised at the same time IYSWIM. No
evidence of any big egos either, which is always a rare bonus in competetive
situations.

Hope it all finishes well (they were 4th in class when I left).

Thanks to all involved, only sorry the brolly dolly didn't accompany me as
originally planned.

Yeah, I pushed off early too so as to enjoy the nice weather for the
ride home - I must've left at a similar time. It was nice to see the
faces, and a couple of new ones, too.

I made the mistake of not filling up when I had the chance early on
the way home - I figured I could find petrol later. Big mistake.

At 90 miles I was keeping an eye out for petrol stations. At 102 miles
the yellow light started flashing. At 112 miles as I hit the A1 I
decided to divert into Stamford because I didn't know how far down the
A1 the next service station was.

After about half an hour of joining various traffic-light queues in my
quest for petrol, I decided enough was enough and headed back out
towards the A1. At this point the yellow light went on continuous, so
I turned back and had to grit my teeth and do the unthinkable: I asked
for directions.

Towards the end my wrists were aching and my left forearm was giving
me serious gyp whenever I had to pull in the clutch.

For all that, a nice ride.

 

Heh, nice to meet you chap.

Noooooooooo, christ this place is going downhill.

 

<ashamed>

I know. It's something I will have to live with for the rest of my
life.

 

They finished.

They weren't by the end.

 

Without asking you to steal their thunder, is there any thunder to
steal?

 

You and Mr Eaton have mail from my threads account.

Why on earth would Pip want a naked photo of Alex, Champ and Daz all
sitting on the bike?

 

LOL.

<thinks>

Maybe not from your POV but: Urgh. I mean, *really*.

 

Because photoshop is a great blackmail tool.

Well a naked photo of Champ's hardly a rarity, is it?

I was thinking of taking the bike out of the photo, and replacing it
with Monz.

 

Great - this is the first message I read from the group in six months
and I immediately feel sick. <re-unsubscribes>
