Booking 2012 weekender - Page 4

J.P · 01-05-2012, 04:54 PM

Anyone checked whether Arrow Mill is in danger of being flooded ?

utopia · 01-05-2012, 05:38 PM

No, but last year I had a stroll along the river and I remember the banks being quite steep with a biggish drop down to the water, so maybe there's a good chance that all will be well.
Good point though, and probably worth checking, maybe on thursday.

One good thing about all this rain....the winter salt will have been well rinsed away.

I don't usually attend bike things not on a bike but this year may be the case

That....i would pay money to see!

Doesn't look as though i'm gonna make it yet again this year.
After several months of hardly any work coming into the studio, i now find myself with two documentaries to edit and score, plus a twelve track album to produce for an artist from Hereford.
I was looking forward to catching up with the class of 2009 (the year i won my award, ahem!) and meeting some of the new members but alas, it isn't to be.

Hope you all have a wicked weekender and the sun shines for you on the journey back home.

Ride safe amigos.

Not just yet. I know a family with a dog, you can tell when the salt is all gone because it stops licking my helmet when I visit

Thinking about it, this implies that if i actually bothered to leave it on a shelf instead of the floor they would never grit the roads again...

Decided I'm going to ignore the bike problems and come down anyway. Unfortunately it runs better with baffles in so it will be quiet. It will also be very dirty becuase I won't have time to clean it from the the week's commuting. Before I come I've also got an indicator to replace and a new speedo bracket to improvise since the old one snapped on the way to work. And it's been so windy I actually watched one of the fork adjusters unscrew itself and blow away on the way home yesterday. So in all, it's not going to look very nice! (I've also managed to partially break a guitar amp and a bass in unrelated incidents this week!

) Is there going to be a separate naughty step for people with non-shiny Monsters?
