Got home at 5:45pm after 105 miles. Great day and company as usual and we didn't lose anyone especially in Colchester. Bit drier than last year, a bit hot for me as I wished I put my mesh jacket on. Here's to No7!

Cheers for Terry and Nada for the tea!

Will upload video somewhere later.

Thanks for a great day chaps. That was my first Muppets ride and thoroughly enjoyed it .
Good to meet you all - can't promise remembering any names though.
As others have said - thanks to Terry and Nada for the van hospitality and to Chris for organising.
All in all - a good day.

Just checking in, home just before 6pm having fuelled at Hatfield on the way back. Nice to see friends old & new, cracking day with ideal weather.

Echo everyone's gratitude to Chris for the rideout and Terry & Nada for the catering services, oh and Richie for the flapjack bites.

Brilliant ride out! And my thanks too to Chris for his efforts in organising it. The pie and mash, as expected, was delicious. But the thing for me was meeting you guys, and as others have said, putting faces to names...which I may have trouble remembering. But what the heck! I think I remember bikes better than names if you see what I mean. Thanks for a warm welcome on my first rideout with you all.

Terry and Nada, great to meet you both and sorry I didn't come down to Mersea for tea and coffee. Wanted to but decided I could save my wife a bit of effort if I picked her up. She worked today and needs some pampering as she has just lost a good friend to illness! But I'll see you both no doubt in the near future on another ride.

I thought I had posted a thanks but can't see it. Enjoyed the ride and pie thanks for that. Had nice ride back to Ipswich took wrong turn but then saw 137 so nicer run back. Cheers

175 miles of pure joy,Thanks Chris for a well organised day not forgetting the "Tale end Charlie" also many thanks to Nada and Dave for the refreshments,,
Dave says that Nada is a bit "Blind ,deaf and dumb it's a pitty she dont own a Pub !,, I would bid every penny i have for her
Hope to see ou all again next year if not before.

There was some talk yesterday on the rideout that I might not actually be an android! Well...let me say this. Much as I like you all, I don't fancy any of you putting your hands up my clothing searching for my on/off switch! You'll just have to keep guessing!!
