What's the name of the pub for this Sunday's gathering ??---------I know how to get there but I've forgotten where I'm going to !! ( And that, folks is called OLD AGE !!)..

You know when you're old because you can't bend down to pick up your dropped Bus Pass !!

Hi Folks, I'm back :) Thanks Craig, just now I was looking at how I get there. This health shyte buggered my riding capabilities. Normally I do a cross country ride down & part motorway back home.
Looking at the miles, my limitation I reckon I'll be M1 J28 - 22 then Markfield, Borcheston, Newtown Unthank to A47 & same way home - about 90 miles and that is very near the limit for me and Flash & a Box
Anyway jope to see you both there on the day :)

With hope/ jope in my heart I set off on the Zimmer Frame aka a Flash & a Box on a nice fine morning
Rode home in drizzly pi55ing rain
Don't care I had a great day, now I am totally happily knackered :)

You and me both !!------ Lovely, fine sunny but blustery ride down the A47, onto A5 then just outside Cannock the heavens opened up !!

I stopped to put on my waterproof top thinking that the showerproof trousers would be ok....WRONG !!...My first indication was about 10 mins. down the road when "Little Willie" suddenly had a cold bath courtesy of the sloping fuel tank top---YIKES !! but we soldiered on and just near Cosford the Sun came out......HOO-RAY !! Got home at about 3pm and watched the F1 GP on Ch4+1 which was at about lap 25 so saw the bulk of the race----Then fell asleep in the enemy of the Home Mechanic}--- The Comfortable Armchair = zzzzz
