What a great day out yesterday was :) The weather was nigh-on perfect for January (if a little cold on the longer runs), heaps of people out, no proper offs, nobody hurt, and Jaa provided top entertainment, manfully wrestling his GS along the most inappropriate lanes... It was a thoroughly enjoyable day, covered loads of miles on lots of different terrain, some easy, some very sticky, brilliant way to start the year, just had some serious jet-washing to do this morning... :o

Moo's special chain lube - "O" ring friendly? :-?

Stopping for a quick break before storming Imber from the West this time..

Looks like sooooo much fun! Now who wants to donate me their offroader?! lol

I will happily donate the contents of my wallet to charity... (although what they could do with 13 pence is beyond me!)

No, I've got one of my own Ade, and it works a whole heap better that the piece of excrement we eventually found at the Shell garage in Andover last Tuesday... >:(

By the time I got home on Sunday it was already dark so washing the bikes off had to wait until yesterday morning. Star got to work pulling large clods of mud off by hand whilst I was setting up the pressure washer, which certainly helped and we've agreed to pick up on something we saw Basil and his mates doing on Sunday - take some disposable gloves in the van for when we have to load up without being able to wash the bikes first, and clean off as much mud as we can - makes life easier when we get home and clean them properly [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Perhaps it's one to ask Dabz if he knows why the images are smaller than they were on the previous software... :-?

It's a strange one this as the forum software seems to resize the pics automatically even when instructed, and shouted at, not to by me.

However, I've found a tick box which seems to be on side so if you now left click on any pic it will pop out in a greyee/bluey box in its original size.

If I can find a way to get the settings back to normal I will. This is added to the 'square away' list.
