    London calling ride and Pic's

    I had to get up at 3.30am
    Well,we made it to the tea hut by 4.50am and where the first one's there.I took me 2 cups of coffee to figure out that the "real dark night" was down to me still having my tinted visor on


    After a while the first people arrived(even Stormforce in the Rain),Soho did a bit of roadside maintenance and quickly changed brake pads in about 5 mili seconds


    Meljordan and Mudwiz all dressed up for the occasion

    A few pictures from along the way













    Stormforce and us decided during a coffee stop that we where wasting away and where in urgent need of Breakfast

    After breakfast we waited in the sunshine for the others which arrived soon




    There where some guys from the Army which offered a Bike wash for a donation for charity
    We only had to tell Mudwiz twice








    Thanks for Sohoeasy and Cabby for leading us through London.Boboneleg it was a pleasure to meet you at last,the other guys it was good seeing you all again.
    Great day
    They call him "Ze Quiet one"
    I listen to what the rice crispies tell me to do

    The first stop was too dark for my camera,

    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    Unlike me, who gracefully accepted a cup of tea at 2.00 this morning and then rolled over and went back to sleep.

    Sorry I couldn't make it guys, it's just been too long a week and I was just too tired to be able to concentrate on the bike today
