Glad you had a dood day. Me and Keith left today at 4 in glorious sunshine to go out for a few hours, down the Clyde Valley, up the hill at Tillietudlem(sp?), just managed to hold Keith's back wheel on this one, over the back roads and back onto the Valley, then right at the bottom of the Lanark brae, I didn't hold Keith's back wheel on this one. We eventually ended up at Happendon Services and the skies were starting to look very black. Kieth then asked the days daftest question, do you fancy going over Glen Taggart? Maybe he was bluffing, but I wasn't calling the bluff. Naw was my reply. Just as well because we weren't even at Rigside when the heavens opened and the temperature plummeted making the run to Hyndford Bridge extremely unpleasant. By Lanark, Keith obviously failed to notice my mood when he asked which way we would go home. The shortest way was my reply. So back home through the Valley where I collapsed into a warm bath with a beer. Now need to go and clean my bike 'cos it's covered in all sorts of sh*** Crying or Very sad

That's no excuse Rambo. I didn't get in to 5am on Sunday morning. More dedication required I think. Wink
