On Sunday, someone will always be back bang on 9.00am and someone will roll in at 6.00pm. There will be a fairly steady stream returning between the hours of 10.00am and 2.00pm. Bit of a lull until 4, a sudden flurry, then a drawn out wait for whoever mistook their intentions for their abilities or simply got lost too many times.
Did I mention my return time this year

Re: Cafe Racer GR are GO.
Yes the 'not let us in' story will be along shortly...
As for Mike saving a Triangle table it would have been helpful to our subsequent arrival if he'd saved the entire pub

Re: Cafe Racer GR are GO.
Thanks Stu and Dee for a fantastic weekend, Pickers, Reg, Steve, Mark and Steve for the brill 'borg-collective' hive-mind route and Dillon for giving me a wheel to follow/ try (and fail) to keep up with.
Great riding, great company, great cake, lots of tea, amazingly good weather, and flaming gas canisters, what more do you need?
But maybe next time let's not send the bloke with a toy panda on his head and two pairs of glasses on, into pubs, to see if they have room for 7 muddy riders!!

Not so much a gravel grinder.... more a gravel (mud and tarmac) groveller...
Re: Cafe Racer GR are GO.
Sorry reg I could only secure 2 seats the place was rammed, although half hr after u guys left there were loads of spaces available :)
Cracking weekend

Re: Cafe Racer GR are GO.
I've knocked up some drivel about our lovely little group's experiences... but I reckon we're "post event" now, so it's round the corner in "Trips And Adventures".....
