Abingdon Memorial Ride


Recommended Posts

Was great fun. Didn't ride much, but the going's on when it started to rain was funny. :unsure:

I caught James staring at my breast, and no James, water still isn't fizzy if you shake it up loads. :P

Was nice to see y'all again.

If only i had a better journey (4 hours via Guildford and Havant instead of 2 hours straight from Reading to Worthing because train drivers are cocks ) i would probably feel a lot better about the whole day.

Was still fun though, and some crazy shit going down as usual.

Thanks to the Jones family/friends that made it happen and kept it running nicely. :unsure:

:"> haha :) you

only just got home from which should be a 30mins journey :) forking trains. had a very good day and a right good laugh (Y)

I beat Nick for getting home at stupid o'clock! I have only just got in! :) I dont know how far I have driven today, I have a feeling I have only covered about 250 miles so you deffinately beat me in distance travelled! :unsure:

I am tired but am fueled by Redbull so am gonna struggle to get to sleep...

Today was more of a social event than a ride for me, was great to meet a few new faces :)

It was a social day for me, meeting new people, seing friends, taking lots of photo's with Em-hehe, seing my Girlfriend (em) and my Boyfriend (james)..HAHA

Everyone i met was so lovely and friendly.

The riding was awesome and well done lads those of you who rode in the rain, though when some people left the sun came out..hehe

That was a freaking awesome day :D

I was going to make a post when I got home (about the same time as Danny & Tomm), but I had to make my bed before I went to bed, and I had to get up at 9-ish this morning to go to work :o

Anyway, riding was awesome. Everyone got on super well, everyone just had a laugh. Met loads of people from here who I knew online but didn't actually know in person. Prawn and Bigman rule :D Even if everyone did have a go at me for being "disappointed" I didn't have a proper Welsh accent :P

I'm kinda pissed now I waited for so long to start riding. Just wondered about not really doing much for the first 2 hours, started riding, then it pissed it down. Huddled for a while under the thing then started riding, and it was all good, even in the wet. Got me an FBM T and band too, so glad I could help out in some way :(

Thanks again to Sue and Charlie for everything, Em too, and basically everyone who helped setup and organise the day, everyone who attended, and Jon for giving me a lift down and back :P It's all much appreciated.

P.S. I was the guy on an Onza T-Lite L, wearing jeans and a white long sleeve T-shirt with a red T-shirt over the top (silver Giro Xen for more detail :o)!

The only pic of the course I managed to get, from a poop angle! My camera batteries died a minute later, after I'd just taken a video of an over-view of the course, with Prawn sneaking into the shot, sidehopping onto the spool, then gapping onto the upturned skip...

Nah, not Sam Wheeler, 'cos he was all in black 'n' stuff?

Yeah, I was just milling around there. I don't remember seeing you, but that's mainly 'cos I don't know what you look like :D

It's great when people start drinking, it's just funny hearing the stories. That text message Tic sent to Bigman with "We're at Rich's house and he's got full on gay porn" and stuff like that - t'was all good.

As was the hog roll :P

we (little crowd with phil williams, dave, mike etc) were throwing white seedless grapes at him :o

Therefor, Sam is holding his testicles with a mighty grip incase James mistakes them for some seedless grapes.
