Default Massive thanks to the scrutineer today.

Just wanted to say thanks to Paul (I think that was his name) for not letting me out this morning.

For those that I didn't ask to borrow some wheels...

The scrutineer wouldn't let my (admitedly rather bald) track tyres on so I had to buy some new wheels and tyres from someone up there (many thanks Andy Bell).

Although cursing it at the time (when it was dry and sunny) after my first run in the wet I realised what a complete muppet I had been and as to confirm this there was Bobs unfortunate incident.

I wouldn't have stood a chance in that much water.

Chris, if you see him again soon please pass on my thanks.

I'm just glad you didn't tell me your rear tyres were shot *before* I followed you up the A1 - I'd have been a lot more nervous!
