Sorry guys, will be at Atmosphere. Will join you when we're back.

Tinys name should also not be on that list, if he has time to go bike riding, he has time to not miss the biggest kite event of the year!

Long range forecast says Heavy rain showers for Sunday

If it's dry I will be up for it though. 0900 would suit me better.

Fozzie, hope the forecast is wrong,
have just done a leisurely 11m off road loop to get me legs going again, another outing on Sunday would be very good.
(Got to be careful not to loose any weight otherwise I could be in danger of not being a heavy in the Karting)

Which way do you go along the sea wall ? Latchingdon or Steeple way ? I found that it got too bumpy in the summer when the ground's hard and used to shake me to bits .I had a spin over to Burnham ,nice and sunny yesterday morning just got to watch getting cut up by the motorbikes .
