Ride It Like You Stole It!
Location

Finally got to the caravan after my son announced he had last minute plans, but never told us. Unpacked, went to the supermarket for some food, then came back and went to the pub with my dad.

Unlucky but no sense in ignoring the warnings and damaging yourself.

:hugs: 80 is still good though!

But that's still further than I've ridden AND a night ride, I'm impressed! Did it make you want to repeat the experience?

It's still an imperial half century, give or take half a kilometre. No mean feat. I hope the knee recovers swiftly.

Now't wrong with 80, some don't do that in a lifetime.

:hugs:. thats a shame, will you be back to have another go next year?. I had two friends of mine complete this ride, Andrea Rimmer and Ashleigh Hargrave.

Well done all the same. Best to protect the knee from further damage.
If you fancy some more night riding in the future....http://fridaynightridetothecoast.blogspot.co.uk/p/welcome.html ;)

Well done for getting as far as you did. Next time...?

Thank you all, I have not decided whether I will try it again next year yet, but I really did like the experience.

My knee is recovering slowly, I am sat with it up and supported, I can hobble about happily now.

As for the FNRTTC, I love the idea but I don't think I am ready quite yet, I am still really slow and have to stop on hills.

As in packed to go to the pool party, or packed to go home?
For the pool party. @Hill Wimp has evidence....

I almost completed the Ride the Night. My knee blew just before the 3rd feed station, so instead of doing 100k, I managed 80. Gutted is not the word :sad:

:hugs:

Ouch, hun, hope you mend soon xxx

Normal service resumed :wahhey:

Would have popped by last night, but was on cloud 9999999999 after the cup final. :dance: Gutted the parade was cancelled though. :cry:

Spent today watching the Monaco GP and the Indy 500 with time for a quick fizz on the bike in between the two. Had a YS curry out of the freezer for supper as was feeling lazy.
Yes, I had to be substitute assistant at mass today while everybody else got to go to the races.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Gutted that Alonso's engine went *bang*, thought he had enough in hand to win. Glad Taku-san won, used to know him a little bit back in the days he was doing junior formulae over this side of the pond. And didn't Scott Dixon have a lucky escape - wild ride or what...
