Couldn't make the weekend, so I popped up from Newtownabbey on the Saturday to do the road run, and what a run it was! The narrow gate, the gravel, the unexpected detours, IT WAS GREAT!!
Do you know, an RT fits through there (without its mirrors).
What an excellent weekend (even if Aidan's definition of what constitutes a road is slightly different to the rest of us ) fantastic weather and great company, can't wait for the next one.
Saturday morning started with some mist as the sun rose over Ramelton.
A light frost coated Sugarcube's suede seat but by 11 all was blue skys, sun and steaming Tossers.
After some great roads and fantastic scenery we all met back at the Lodge and made preperations for the night to come.
Billie reviewed some of the days events after dinner.
Civil was his normal self!!!
All in all a great weekend and a big thank you to all those who took the time to arrange it.
Couldn't get up for the whole weekend myself. But Glad I got up for the Saturday. Aidan and Jocker's sort of road route was superb with plenty of stunning views.
This was the wee opening track.
And this was one of the views.
It led down to Glenveagh Park with a lovely wee road along side the lake.
Went on a wee Detour past this old church, after lunch.
This was the view at 90 degrees to the Church.
Last off road--road section. A bit more challenging than the first!! But great fun
Again many thanks for the organisation and the company.
while waiting for leadership (i.e; where are we going next?!) you can see the entire range of surfacing;
road.
track.
boreen.
and gravel pit.
all this on just one corner too
We knew roughly where we were going next Og, I just needed to re-fold the map and whilst I was at it I nicked Jocksers 12GSA for the return run to Ramelton.
A fine big bike, but Mandy said the pillion seat was uncomfortable compared to my 1150. There goes my chances of a change of bike for another while.
