Yes, but what about the car................

[Vantage man]

Great sunny morning for a run out

[IanH755]

Just leaving now, great weather too!!

[blueg33]

Good meet guys. Hope none got pulled by the rozzers that were nosing around.

[escortcab]

They were attending loads of junctions in and around the Cotswold Water park, because there was a triathlon on.

[IanH755]

Ah, that explains the ridiculous amount of cyclists (30+) I nearly had to peel from the front of my car as I came around a fairly sharp bend and found them static and blocking the whole road (both lanes) at a crossroads figuring out where to go (I think) so I gave them a wee toot of the horn as I stamped on the brakes to remind them that's it's not a good idea for such vulnerable people to stay in the way of a 2 ton metal object doing 60mph, although judging from the friendly way I they told me I was a masturbator via sign language, I'm guessing that they thought blocking an entire A road with their frail bodies just after a blind bend was perfectly OK!

There was an ambulance car flying the other way (easy 80+) about 30secs after I passed them which I flashed so hopefully they didn't smash into the cyclists.

Other than that it was a good meet with a chance to swap stories with other like-minded people at a really nice venue. I've only got 3 pics which I'll put up later once I've fiddled with them in photoshop as my camera found it too sunny!

[escortcab]

I tootled past Kemble at around 0945 but couldnt pop in

On my way to the water park. Where there were 100s of cyclists and runners. Oh And coppers.

Ill go to the next meet there as i know where it is now. Hopefully it won't clash with the super somerset meet.

[Huff]

Nice to catch up all - I seemed to have missed the last two or three meets.
Kevin - I'm definitely in for a day /weekend run-out as floated - drop me a PM when you're free


[Cyclists not a problem - some of us just drove under them.]

[IanH755]

If only! I photographed the same cars and my pics are pants

[IanH755]

I used to have a DSLR so I've got Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop to heavily tweak the pictures, mainly because my Sony point and shoot camera has a very poor sensor and makes everything look like it was taken with a potato.

[Saleen836]

Is this on this Sunday?

[blueg33]

Not sure how many people will be going. Its supercar sunday in Somerset and Neil Garner has a big event at Kemble on saturday. I am going to the latter.

[Camoradi]

I'll be there. Planning an early morning in the Cotswolds, then breakfast on the way home

[graeme4130]

I might try and get along this Sunday

[Wozy68]

Called in this morning whilst having a blast round the hills. Neve been before, just a quick bacon butty and off as I was pressed for time. What a great cafe and location, I expected a van and a portaloo.

I'll be back
