Great ride if a bit moist.
Especially in my crotch area but that’s another story 🤪
Need to hose the bike and myself down when I get home.

Dunno where my post went but thanks for the horrid, wet, treacherous roads, ride guys.

Still had fun though and good to meet up again.

Probably :| :| , because I was plenty wet through and the back pocket diary is slightly crumbly shall we say.

Thanks to Brian for organising and leading an epically damp rideout. I enjoyed my TEC-ing duties immensely and can't wait to do it again - or not :-? . Fording the miniature Amazon River on Exmoor was an education, as was negotiating the wet and filthy roads in general - all at a good pace too; this was definately not one for the inexperienced rider IMHO - well done to all for handling it in (mostly) great good humour :D .
With the weather we get and the roads we ride I'm beginning to think that having a medium sized trailie for days like that might be the way to go. And waterproofs might be a good idea too!
Let's hope for better weather in Wales :D .

Now I've got it running again the Fazer will be getting a Landrover type inlet snorkel and matt black paint for rides like that =:)

And dumping the TEC on you, Phil, was a special birthday present. Next time you'll all be drawing straws for the honour :mrgreen:
