What fantastic photos! Nice one, Mr & Mrs MV!
Wish I wasn't nearing the culmination of an annoyingly stressful project and that we could've made it, too.

It was there just to collect the empties. Recycling: it's the 4th emergency service ;)

1. Yes.
2. Yes. Nothing too serious.

Great pics, looks like you all had a blast

Oh I wish I could have been there but for
a) my allergy to the outdoors (esp. camping), and
b) wishing to be a witness for a certain Crinkly-Cub's audax debut.

Unbelievable photos. So envious of you all. Looks like a smashing weekend. If you have another MV I think I'll hire a car. :) :)
-
Indeed, that does look absolutely blooming lovely. I shall be having stern words with the younger cub about growing a sufficiency of leg to be able to pedal such that we will hopefully have pedal-powered transportation for the three happy campers in the Crinkly household in the not-too-distant future and thus be able to take part in such delightful shenanigans :)
-
Fab photos! Looked like an amazing time!
-
nice one :thumbsup:
-
Very jealous, but my legs only just had enough in them to get around the BC400 as it was. I'm extremely weak-willed when beer is available and I needed to qualify for PBP (Yes, I know the Things and Salvatore managed both).
If it happens again, post PBP, then it's my #1 priority.
Great photos. I wasn't going to organise another YACF camping trip in Andover but these photos make the idea seem very tempting.

@Kim; re: Photo 15: where can I get a certain penguin-based T-shirt?
That came from Thinkgeek via a friend who turned out to be completely the wrong shape for it. Unfortunately it's an old and somewhat girly design, so I suspect you're out of luck.
Some excellent photos - as usual I failed to get my camera out all weekend, though I may have evidence of a particularly bastardly climb on my phone...

TGLite and Speshact grinding up the hill back to Chez Volio after our visit to Monmouth.
That's my memory of the w/e. What a great hill climber TGL was. That picture does not do justice to just how steep that hill was (and to how many of them there were)
Chapeau, TGL.

Rob decided the "beer" wasn't enough so added a slice of tomato and lemon to make "beer cocktail".

Great photo, that one. Yes, he's very good at getting up hills, though his knee was suffering a bit by the time we got to Chepstow on the way home. I've been prepared to admit for some time that he is faster than me up the hills, but I think I have to face the fact that he's faster than me on the flat, too. Even on the descent into Chepstow, where I hit 62kph, he managed 62.2! ::-)
-
I just love the fact that he looks so damn cheerful. I've come to the conclusion that this is the key to really enjoyable group rides, far more important than distance or hilliness or (shockingly) even cake - ride with people who find that riding their bikes makes them happy :)

Load him down with tools and equipment, that'll slow him a bit. :demon:
... although that didn't entirely work for NSTN with Rob. ;D
-
Anyone having seen NSTN steaming up a ridiculously steep hill further than any of th rest of our group could manage on the way back from Monmouth, might think it was her that needed weighing down. ;D
I have been told - several times - this weekend that TGL's next touring bike is to have a triple. ;D

Some excellent photos - as usual I failed to get my camera out all weekend, though I may have evidence of a particularly bastardly climb on my phone...

Ah, it was yours, I wasn't certain!
The original was a lot darker, it took a bit of fiddling with The Gimp to get it looking even that tolerable.
Here's possibly a slightly better attempt with PSP.

Ouch, that was clearly quite hot.
Can't you just get a tattooist to use it as a guide? ;D
My bruising is fading, and I reckon it'll be gone in a few days, even if not strictly generated using the traditional method of hitting your arm very hard.

Mal Volio's 'shed in a shed'
I asked Mr. Volio if that was where he had to sleep when he was "Wrong". ;D

I noticed the shed within a shed when I went for my first day mini wander. I liked it a lot.
I too am intrigued about whether that is where Mal is banished to when he's wrong ;)
