Yep, a fantastic day out, took me a while to try and find some sort of form in my legs, and by then, the day was over.. :oops:

Nice, as ever, to see old (very old, and tired) faces, and some new ones too. Always difficult to chat to everyone.. :oops:

Was nice to have another ride where I went over the handlebars (only maybe two people saw it) but that's becoming a bit of a tradition. :oops: :lol:

Time to improve fitness now, methinks.. 8)

A few of us are riding again tomorrow. Doing the Black Route and some selected choice bits of off-piste. Same place 10:30am for 11:00am start. Glutten for punishment comes to mind.

Will report back afterwards ...

The great Retrobike spirit was certainly alive and well in Thetford today. Couldn't really have been much better.
Thanks to all as usual.
See you at the next one.

The best thing about the meeting point was that we had our own car park! Several bemused people driving in and wondering why it was full....

Many thanks to the Anglian group for organising a good day out. Great trails all helped by the amazing weather. Cheers to everybody I chatted to and caught up with a few I have met before. What a great selection of bikes on show. Sorry about my squeaky forks - yes I did forget the grease. I was properly worn out by the time I got home. Looking forward to the next meet in May.
:D

Great day out ,thanks to the team who organised this ride
As ever great bunch of guys and a great selection of well loved bikes on show
I think mine was cleaner after the ride than when I started :D
Good mix of pace too at first I was finding it too slow but after lunch and up at the front it was great something for everyone :wink:
