    2nd April North Yorks Run Out

    Hee Hee, right folks...

    The story can be summed up easily.

    It rained.

    Lots.

    Continuously.

    Heavily.

    Thanks to Yeti & Elli and DunkerD for coming out to play, even though we should have had swimming cozzies for most of the day.

    To be honest, it became hilarious as you just resigned yourself to the fact that everything was going to get wet.

    It was still a good run out and I'll post up a short video soon!

    Well done for getting out in the crap weather.

    Our first Welsh run had rubbish weather and I would never have gone had I not been commited to meeting up with everyone - It turned out to be a very enjoyable ride and I was really glad to have made the effort

    Excellent day out, couldn't have been any wetter..

    Apparently there's a water shortage in the south..

    I think the water got to the bike in the end, it just died on the motorway on the way home. Doing about 70 and then nothing. Stopped for 15 mins and then it started with a push and got me home. All electrics seemed to work o.k. but i don't think it was charging the battery. I'll check it out later this week.

    I'm looking forward to doing the same route again in the sunshine. A big thanks to Fewtrees for organising and leading, and a big thanks to Yeti for stopping and giving me a push.

    top banana!!

    I only got a little wet patch on my left foot and a slightly damp crotch after stripping off at home inspection! Thats after a full day of rain and water splashes!

    My gloves were soaked and weighed about a kilo each of course.

    Hat off to belstaff, porelle and oxtar!
