IOW weekend

[RachaelEllen]

What a way to spend my last weekend in wiltshire for a while! Huge thank you to Rosie and Speedy for organising and leading us around, even though you did make us go up AND down that horrible hill ;D

Also thank you to Alex and Maria for back marking, you kept me company on those long open roads where i struggled haha! Chris the cakes and tea went down a treat, still should have brought the dog though!

Tim, i still don't know who the hotel guy was meant to look like, and i've told the hotel to pass the bill for the window damage onto you :P

Final thank you to everybody for makign the weekend such a brilliant one, i shall certainly miss you all an aweful lot

P.S. sorry for nearly crashing into your bike on the way home Rosie, i was just going too fast for my own good haha

Great pics Ro! I had an absolutely brilliant weekend - made brilliant by the excellent company and good fun [smiley=thumbsup.gif] Have to say though, am glad to be back riding on Wiltshire roads - we might have moaned about the state of them before - but you won't hear me doing that anymore! ;D

Thanks to all for organising / backmarking / leading / suppliers of picnic's - top jobs [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Really sorry Kev you didn't get to join us but we did think of you!

Caz - your face when asked if you had 'anything to declare' was an absolute picture - shame Ro didn't have that one! ;D
