Myself and Chris kay were debating which watch was better his or my g shock. Huw decided to run a few tests which included being dropped in beer, soacked in vinegar, along with ketchup and brown sauce, You had to be there to appreiciate it :lol:

I'm not sure as to the validity of the protocols involved in this test but it seemed to make sense at the time (i.e. 10.30pm)

great write ups from Huw & Adrian for a top weekend !

Great weather, great company and great scenary (for those like us in the touring group who went at sensible speeds to appreciate it) :lol:

.

I would like to add my thanks to Huw for coming up with the idea.

ps Never believe a welshman when he says "It's all flat except for one small hill at Blackgang" I don't think some welshmen can count above one. :roll:

What can I say that hasnt already been said. A big thanks to Huw for suggesting it in the first place. An absolute cracker of a weekend. Sun, sea and booze. Oh yeh and a bit of a bike ride thrown in as well. Andrew had obviously been misinformed when he'd apparrently been told the island's flat, rolling would be a more accurate description and even thats a bit of an understatement, but its terrain that makes for brilliant cycling. Fab. A definate for next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It sounded like a real blast, i would have loved to have gone, but with just getting back from hols, and "double headers"- ibbo and rotfl we needed a bit of home time.
You were very lucky with the weather.
Great write ups as usual from a few of the forum scribes.

But no CR report!

Come on club runners lets have it.

[quote="mrP(Boonen)VT"]I do most sincerely apologise if the pace was quick at the start - I guess I just got carried away riding the IOW again as it was such great fun, and the views were great from the front :wink:

A few photos taken on my phone at the weekend.

Before the off, outside the Bugle, HQ for most of the Agreeables and purveyor of vast meals:

Joy is unconfined as the five-man breakaway leaves the MrPVT Train stranded on the far shore:
