After 2 whole days of festive cheer I was beginning to think perhaps I may try to like 'people' more in the new year.... Well........ Anyone who knows me know I take pride in my vehicles to the point of OCD - if I park in a car park I will go to the furthest corner to avoid some numb nut whacking the door or rammi...
Always a great days riding, 30 ish sections spread over 5 - 6 locations with only a few miles of road work between each group of sections. Usually a special test somewhere along the way too.

Does anyone from Devon TRF mark up OS maps. I'm more than capable myself, but have just got some maps from Dorset TRF and there are some lanes I would never have know as legal, so if Devon have the same I'd be interested. Thanks Simon

Looking for something a bit cooler and lighter to wear on an imminent trip to Cambodia, as it will be a tad warm in my normal UK gear. MX trousers & top to suit 6-footer with 34-36 waist - ideally with a bit of protection on the trousers. What have you got? Thanks, Alex
