Gill E Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Shaun's out tonight so I am clearing up the aftermath of a very soggy Sunday (just could not face doing it last night when we got home - besides which the call of a bottle of wine was far too loud to be ignored ). Speaking for myself, I had a fantastic weekend - still gutted about my spin onto the green stuff at Llandow (thanks Fiona for the use of your shoulder) but pleased about the 8 seconds I managed to knock off my time over the course of the day. And as for Llys y fran - even the very, very wet conditions and the equally wet drive home could not wipe the grin off of my face caused by knocking 16 seconds off of my time over the course of the day. Thanks to Mark, Danny, Andy, Simon for words of encouragement and telling me how to tackle the courses (especially the hillclimb). And thanks to the girls for being really supportive - Tam, Fiona, Lynda (sorry you left before I finished) and Kate. So, having completed my first ever sprint and hillclimb (all in one weekend) BRING IT ON!!!! I think I might be hooked (poor Shaun)!

Simon.Rogers1 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Especially at Terry Brown's daughter. We were all unable to see Terry drive as he was running at the front of the batch. However we were able to see his daughter It was her first event in the escort. Bloody hell!!!!!! Terry did a 54.1 and Cath did a 58.? As Kevin said (he knows them) Cath wasn't bathed in water as a child, she was bathed in OIL 😬 😬 😬 😬 😬 😬 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin S. Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 A great weekend despite the non-stop rain on Sunday. Have to say I do like Llys-y-fran (what a spectacular location!) and am really looking forward to doing more hills Our drive home up the West coast of Wales and across to Manchester in the camper was interesting with horizontal rain and very poor visibility, apologies by the way to those that were held up behind us coming away from Llandow (I feel upgraditus to a 2.5 or Turbo may be needed for the old thing). See you at Curburough (in the sunshine 😬 ) Class 4 Zetec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon.Rogers1 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Mark D - I'm not speaking to you. What a way to treat your host. Sandbagging all day in the rain. Then piping me at the post. You all must get a bikers wet suit. I didn't even have a wet driving suit let alone a wet 🙆🏻 We have ordered Kevin a Satnav so he can find his way around the hills and whilst ordering they offered a bulk buy so I've sent one to Rob M also 😬 Clive has joined the gardening club and sent his membership form off to Alan Titchmarsh 😶🌫️ What a lucky escape even the numberplate is fine.
