Notes:

A Butty production inspired by watching M17’s Motocross at the weekend

Nic & PTD arrive on alternative steeds as Orange Fives are now common as muck

Dunc sports elbow dressing but declines to show us his under short road rash from his Vet TT Wednesday night ..this is a better performance that El Pud who turned up for a Macc Wheelers TT to find it not on 🙂

All climbs to Dale Top are evil, but dry grass is good.

“The rain falls mainly on the plain” smugly watched some heavy downpours rolling NWwards over Alderley/Wilmslow

Hard ground meant motocross course very rideable, but somehow we always seemed to be riding up hill??

Light fading from 8, and lights on at 8:30 – but great views of urban lights.

TNR First? – 3 masts from one viewpoint: Winter Hill, Holme Moss & Moel-y-parc (Flintshire)

Impress a small boy with our lights before entering the Vale for Styrian Pale, Fox & local Lager. Tales of derring do on MTB tandems, temptations of Macc Monster & we all regress to small boys with the appearance of TJ’s astronomical pointers.
