Do you just park at the side of the road on marquis drive. Or do you all go round to the car park?

Normally it's on the roadside of the triangular bit at the junction of Brindley Heath Rd. and Marquis Dr.
I'll be a in a red VW Polo FE08PBU and probably Green Ragley HT.

I'll most likely be riding up with Zulu and his buddies.. I'll be on my orange and black 456 probably doing wheelies and skids and Motozulu will be on his Cheif which is black and he'll probably be watching me do wheelies and skids shaking his head..
Are we meeting at 10? or 10.30?

Seriously though folks, I need to get some spare tubes organised and have a shakedown ride (for me and the bike) so I thought I'd stick with the Rag for this ride.
I can manage 10-15 but can live with 10-30 at Marquis. Don't forget you might have to shove Mr Creosote up the hill.

See you in a bit. Poozoo was right.
We got into some stuff like porridge and it was axle deep. Off piste = mucho shite. I got home just in time to clean my bike just before it got dark. I've hosed my kit down on the backyard before putting it in the washer and I dread to think what the inside of my car is like.
It was a good ride though.

As a foot note I'd like to wish Phil (Kooch) all the best in Canada, a cracking lad and as a serviceman, someone who instantly got my respect.
Look forward to doing the same trails in June Phil! It may flow slightly better then!
All the best and good luck mate.

It was flowing today!
BTW Phil washed his bike at Swinno's as he was taking it back into his girlfriend's flat.
You should have seen him puddle dodging on the way back to Marquis.
Yes, it was a good turn out of new faces.
At least I think so 'cos we all looked like black and white minstrels.
