good rideout led by Doug, managed to touch on but not enter “West Barton”, also known as Royston Vasey & the village of the damned (if you've been, you know what I mean).

great to go round the Brewery and get some gifts & sample the brew.

If Mike on the CBR600RR could get in touch with mee, I've got his marmalade

Yes I must say I did enjoy the tootle along those roads you chose Doug, great day although glad I did not partake in the Tour and free drinks as I would have been asleep on the way home.

Anyway David and me just got back before the weather broke, we had a good ride on a slightly different route but nice country lanes anyway. Just had a quick spurt at the last minute on the infamous M60 cos I was getting peckish.

Thanks again to Doug and the rest Great Day!
