I reckon tricky has a Brutale in the van

Currently sat having food with the weeksy clan and Alan after a superb ride down which I really enjoyed on some roads I hadn’t seen before thanks to Abel’s garmin files. As it’s him there were a couple of shit covered goat tracks on the way but good fun.

I reckon it’s going to be a bit moist in the morning but we’ll get away with most of the day :thumbsup:

As nobody has posted anything we are all upright with no spills, the weather has been mixed but rideable for most and lots of beer and banter in the evening

Photos and reports to follow as I am sat in my tent with the rain hoofing down, the wind is blowing and everybody in the paddock is trying to sleep although I can already hear snoring. @dern or maybe @Dodgy but probably @beancounter :mrgreen:

Could have been me. Struggling to shift that cold and cough. Sorry.

Good to see everyone, a few dry sessions and some wind and rain but definitely could have been way worse.

Back home about 12.10. Straightforward run up the A40 etc. Had another brekky this morning and got away just before 9am.

Great weekend and good to see everyone again. Yep, inclement weather but didn't stop a session, well maybe last one. Dry ride home aswel.

Chef Weeksy did a decent job, no good being a veggy mind, plenty of booze left over this morning aswel. Slept better 2nd night, pretty normal for me that.

All in all, another very enjoyable RTTL trackday weekender. Well, Tricky might have something to say about that, (for sale) the jolly green one went well though.

Cracking time had. 👍👍👍

Home pretty handy. Took us an hour to unload the van and start getting things dried and sorted.
Lots more to do but need to head out for birthday lunch for Mrs Weeksy.
Then load van up for heading to bike park Wales at 7am.

Trackday was ace and seeing the gang enjoy themselves was brilliant.

@Dodgy69 owes me a box 😀😀😀

@Beancounter owes me a chair 😀😀😀😀

Lots of fun though

Another top couple of days and plenty of laughs with some great people- will post some more later but I'm absoloutely knackered ATM so am going to flop in front of BSB for an hour or two with a cuppa and a pile of custard creams to re-charge my batteries before unloading the van, and maybe do some more typing after that :)

@Dodgy69 with the gazebo lights was a highlight.

Trying to trace the wires and looking like a bemused child. Comedy gold
