  Weather: Generally pretty good ! 

  Items of interest :

• Chris has a "mechanical" barely 1 mile from the start   
• Two constant topics of conversation ...much to Mawds alledged disgust
• Quadraphonic dawn chorus of "welsh mist" production 
• Pete proved to have "dodged one salad too many"  when his seat post snapped half way around the BMKL
• The Castle Inn gets a "thumbs up" from the boys for its Eastern European employment strategy
• Chris shows his dark side with threats to harm the bar room entertainer
• Mawds excels with his catering - pies & box of red wine !
• Red wine & Pies is just too much for posh "bling boy" - he gets carried away on the new steed & has to be carted off to hospital
• Bally insists on performing "open heart surgery" on his front mech during Saturday's picnic 

Thanks to : Huge for the route & accommodation planning & entertainment value, Mawds for transport and catering
