Glad you and Nick enjoyed yourselves, Bradders. Great to have some new faces at a Weekender as well as the regulars.
Thanks to everyone who came for making it a great Weekender, despite the weather.
Particular thanks are due to
-JP for leading the National Rideout - the small select band who braved the elements enjoyed the ride - I love the flowing bends of the Newtown to Crossgates A483 - and also for donating a couple of raffle prizes
-UKSurfer for leading the Brecons Bimble on Saturday - the highlight of my weekend, especially as the "guaranteed sunshine" shone on us all the way and we could even sit outside the Owls Nest Cafe
-BigOz for making the trophies - only fitting that he took one home for Bike of the Year;
-Slob for donating parts for the trophies, and for all his work keeping UKMOC running, battling the Bolognese bureaucracy etc;
-Char for telling me about the Hotel Metropole in the first place - all agreed it was an excellent venue for a Weekender, for riders and non riders alike;
-Scrapps for transporting raffle prizes & other Weekender stuff to Wales (and a few bits back from Wales);
-Oxford Products & Snells for donating raffle prizes;
-the staff at Hotel Metropole for looking after us so well and for even buying a few raffle tickets.
