Charlotte, I'm surprised you're up so early. Haven't you got a Champagne hangover If not, why not :P:P Great late birthday present for Alan, n'est ce pas?

Looking forward to seeing Mutters' pictures of your bike. A before and after shot would be good. Hope Alan gets it all fixed in time for the next round of the DD. And I hope the young man responsible isn't too stiff this morning to give your bike a bloomin' good clean up

Champagne hangover???

oh - thanks for the fantastic prize you donated for the raffle Butch - its mucho appreciated

Unfortunately Alan & Doug popped the box in the back of the van, and I didnt realise it till we had got onto the m/way. I couldnt get into the back to fish out a bottle - so had to scoff chocky instead

Never mind, we'll crack a bottle open when we know how Snotty is internally

yes, big thanks to ak, ck, paul payne and mutters for all changing my wheels for me. will be practising over the winter. so will be doing all that complex stuff myself next year .

sorry for those that had off's or problems, hope you are all sorted for next year.

paul, get your hands on a 620 now, you know it makes sense!

brands are getting a delivery of gravel next week apparently to replace the amount taken away by the snot mobile so there should be plenty more for you to play in on the 11th!

very pleased with how all my sessions went.

the bike came off the trailer.........

everyone else changed my wheels while i stood about.........

bike went back on the trailer.........


when it comes to bike maintenance im about as much use as a pork chop at a jewish wedding!

I'd just like to say thanks to everyone who supported this event last night, through either riding or donations or whatever. I know Annette was moved by the amount of support she received and quite frankly, so am I.

RIP Dave, I miss you mate - you're a legend!

'tis true, was great! Lots of rain, a few good battles, and a couple of tasty beers after to toast the big man. Thanks to Annette for the organisation, to the companies involved for their time, to Dibble for storing my bike+trailer for a week, to Butch for letting me play on a real bike, and to Paul Payne for his desparate attempt to scoop the muppet award at the last possible moment!

At least it's not just us northerners that get all the rain!!

I really enjoyed myself. It had to be done anyhow out of respect, but I found myself really enjoying splashing around in the "pond".
Thanks to everyone involved in making a very special evening happen.

It was great to see everyone turn up. A fitting send off to a top bloke. RIP Dave.
