Hope you found some better roads on your journey than those!
Ryan, shouldn't they make the effort to come up here and try the roads we use.
If that's the usual standard then yes!
I'm not sure the TRX could cope with cobbles.
hehe

Not quite Louis. Just weekends. When you have a day off.

I did get out on Sunday by the way for a ride. However I cannot do this weekend as I am too busy! smile

So come on then. Tell the story?

Andy - was it worse than my aborted overtake in Heathfield last time we went out down that way?

Attempted overtake of traffic, nearly had an accident in my pants when I put the throttle on to get past the last car and the rear hit gravel/dust/dirt. Resulted in no traction, by all accounts a load of dust spraying up from the back of the bike, and some braking (whilst still on the said gravelly/dusty road) to abort the last overtake.
