I've nearly finished a small video to keep you going. I've checked through it and everyone is behaving so I'll put it up shortly.

The other vid is over an hour long so I'll need to edit it.

Sunny day made even better with all the happy faces, great to see the crew again and to meet Chris [GPants] :)

Hen pheasants can be a hard hit Chris but those horses would have been harder :lol: Hope all made it back home safe & sound...

We might be lucky & get a few more rides in before the weather really turns - keeping the glass 1/2 full; maybe October will be hot & sunny :roll:

Next video instalment nearly done. 8) I've condensed 1hr 30mins down to 10mins. I think I've managed to capture most people somewhere along the way. A learning curve this, I've not filmed anything really before so bear with, bear with. I'm gonna have to find a funky camera angle for the next ride out, something more interesting. I'll try and sort something out for the friendly ride in Oct.

Very much enjoyed the ride everyone! Thank you all for being a top bunch of riders.. and a nice pace to keep up with.
Unfortunately my steed is suffering some electrical issues, and I had to ride home on dim-dip since the lights only came on when the ambient engine temperature got above 90. I'll be looking into that today while it's all wet out.

Here we go. Again I have checked all of it and everyone is behaving. More filming practice needed me thinks!!

It's a good job I didn't film the bit on the way home :)):

What a great ride out this turned out to be!! Thanks to all for coming out, it was good to see everyone. Excellent route and what a great place to 'take tea'.
To those that stuck behind me, thanks for your patience...t'was my first time with a pillion, so I just kept at my comfortable pace.
Nice work with vid Dan, looks good....and there was plenty of pics taken too.
All in all, a great day out with top people...it's good when it all comes together ;)

P.S.
Smiler.... it was nice to meet rent-a-hubby...sorry, Mr Smiler, at last :D

It's better to remain silent and be thought of as a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt.

Nice work Dan - only trouble was when I pulled out behind you and realised I was on camera it made me really self conscious and I messed up that first corner! Well... probably the one after too... and the next one :wink:

It was great to be out and see everybody - thanks for a really good afternoon :)):

You ride just fine Kate, and you have nothing to be self conscious about. Sometimes I think we all analyse this biking lark too heavily. We are all guilty of it at some point. Keep doing what you are doing, you're o reet!

I reckon I need at least four cameras filming all angles and a studio to edit them in. I need an orchestra, actors, stunt-men, and extras...
