Re: Hi. Have sent you a pm

A quick thank you to Jamie, Brian and Andy for a great day's ride and for being so welcoming and such good company. I had a blast! Here's to the next one!

Re: Hi again jamie. Just quick confirmation that I will be there. Lunch out or bring our own? Could you text reply as probably not going to access forum again before tomorrow. Cheers!

Re: Thanks Jamie. See you and the other guys there, thermals and suncream at the ready. :)

Re: Re: Thanks Griff, I would appreciate that very much. If it's easier for me to send you my email address let me know. Nigel
