Really gutted I missed that run, only live 20 mins away from Folkestone, Most SE runs are quite a distance away from me, this would have been ideal oportunity to meet some of you guys. Teach me not to check the board more often!!!

Never mind Lisa - our next meet is back in Surrey on the 24th but we'll be down in Sussex on the 9th Feb hopefully for another run starting and finishing in Eastbourne but that's not confirmed yet. If not we'll be looking at a pub meet on the Sussex/Kent border somewhere.

We'll see you at some stage this year I'm sure !!

Pub meet on the Kent / Sussex border sounds good, do you have anywhere in mind?
I will definately get to go on one meet this year at least!! Just have to make sure I check in on the boards more often. :oops:

I think I've worked out how not to get to wet now - around 50mph and you might get some drops down your neck but it doesn't quite come over the side window. 50 - 75ish and it's likeley to come over the side and get your arm wet. Over that, not that you'd ever find out of course, the wind pushes the side window "wave" further back and you avoid the wet arm but behind the seat may get a bit damp !.

Anyhow after that bit of pontificating I have got the picture page up and running off the redesigned website - direct access here....

Just want to thank all those who attended........was an enjoyable run (shouldn't that be sprint :lol: ) and fantastic that so many turned out so early in the year ;) For people that missed this tulip rally.......do not fear.......I am sure Ralph and I may re run it with a little modifications in the summer :D

Best Wishes
