Cocked up the date on the orginal thread so though I would add new thread with correct date and point everyone at the old thread. (come back CW, all is forgiven)

I guess this could be why they are so few takers for this week.

good run out 2 night,shame about the volvo driver i thought we were both
goners 2 night at 1 point,any way i made it 2 the shell garage just shame i could not finish the run with u but next time i will make sure ive got a full tank,we will have 2 do the same route again.

 

Thanks for keeping me company on this one, will definately be doing that route again. However, you missed out on the Longnor road, which is best described as a "roller-coaster", lots of blind crests with near vertical drops on the other side!

As for Volvo drivers, that is the closest I have come to a crash without having one! He had nothing to prove, and while I prefered to overtake on the long downhill straight, his desire to get one over on me meant he was alongside me (after crossing double whites) going into a blind corner. Luckily I spotted the black cab coming the other way before he did and was able to slow sufficiently to allow him to come back onto my side. The worst bit of driving I have ever seen, and how he managed to hold onto the car after diving infront of me I do not know, it certainly was not driver skill.

 

sorry about not making it. Came off my trials bike yesterday afternoon. spent the evening in casualty with a big hole in my leg down to the bone. nine stiches later bandages ,pain killers and 4 hous at hospital im limping a lot better.

See you on the next one
Jamie

 

No worries Jamie, hope you get back into action soon.
