The Club banner



The gathering of bikes


Mr Eurovee's creation 
 

Nice 650E
 

Chris enjoying the countryside views
 

 The road leading out from the pub/rally
 

 And it rained on Saturday.....The Spice Girls.....
 

 The Irish lads talking about the size of something  ???.........
 

 The pub for the weekend....they ran out of beer on Saturday....
 

 Miriam, from Germany won the best "paint job" award
 

Our Reggie from Bristol having a laugh (err one too many pints i think.....)


 Things you see after a couple of pints , not like the buffalo in Pa eh Ron.......



The Irish lads ready for there long trek home
 


The 2010 National CX/GL UK rally was held in the Cumbrian lake District.
My prayers and thoughts are with the family and friends of the victims killed and injured by the crazed gunman who went on a rampage a week after our rally............

  All The Best................Keith........................

Keith, My compliments on an excellent set of pictures - words could not have conveyed what you captured there.
You obviously had a "better than good" time. WIWT.

Keith, the pictures are great!  Especially the first one, as Don said you had a better than good time!  Did I understand you correctlly?  An English pub RAN OUT OF BEER!!!  How is that possible, all of the folks there must have matched you drink for drink!  Remember to bring tools to VMD to get your Hwy pegs.

Yeh,

The pub ran out of keg beer and had to resort to
canned (tins) beer.
Personally I blame a certain Cannuck with a large glass ! He must have hollow legs !

Trev_h, he is only a pretend Cannuck, those hollow legs came with him from the "Old Country"!  If he ever shows up again the rally organizers might do well to lay in extra orders of kegs!

Gene,
In the "old country" we only lived 7mls apart.
We still miss him but at least now the roads are safer and the pub has beer :-)

Don't you mean the "Black Country"... I spent over 30 quid at the Cradley Heath Tay Shirt store, just so i could educate Gene and the rest of the guys in our proper Black Country English language ...

You have to look out for that Gene guy, he shows up in all sorts of places

I still get a chuckle from the pic......
