Well all plans to go to poole got scrapped pretty early on..... 

Anyways, watched the F1 and decided to go scrub my new rear tyre in.

Headed from mine, along the ogmore road, st athans - barry. Got there and a band were playing, the salvation army i think, was on my tod so didnt hang around that long.

Graham called me back, (forget his name on here) and we arranged to meet at andy's cafe in bonvilston.

As i came off 5 mile lane, turned left i squeezed the throttle, and old bill were sat their starring at me, didnt get pulled, had a nice friendly wave!


Had a brew at andy's then went on to margahm, and passed the golf course to porthcawl, had another brew and went home.

didnt go too far, wanted to re-familiarise myself with biking, had smashing fun, and tyre well on its way to be worn in.

got some photos, will do my best to get them up

Glad to hear you're back in the saddle Rob
Sorry I couldn't join you today.

Did 120 miles from Cardiff to Pembrey and back down the M4 

Not only did I pay £12 to get into Pembrey (Rip off!) to watch my mate Phil racing, as soon as I get there he breaks down so no racing to bother watching.
Another trudge back up the M4

it wouldn't have been much of a race if he was the only one racing
