I wanted another thread to give my thanks to those who deserve it.
Obviously the organisers, marshals and medics without whom we have no event and a special mention to those who dug the trail out. fantastic work chaps!
Julie ( Mrs TJ) for a superb bit of support crew work - with help also from Big Al, Roberta, Norman, George and Matt.
Mark at The Bike Chain who supplied all my spares and tyres at a good price and also lent me a light - a nightrider pro 600 which is a fantastic piece of kit. I think I rode about 9 or 10 hours in the dark and still did not use all the battery up - and the light was easy to fit on the bike and easy to use. with a great beam pattern. It may be expensive but its great.
Simon at Big Tree Campervans for hiring one out at short notice and being very friendly and helpful. We decided at the last minute that a nice warm camper was a good idea rather than a tent.
Finally all the other competitors for showing such a great attitude. The whole atmosphere was great and everyone was friendly and helpful. In many places on the lap overtaking was impossible without co operation ( obviously I was overtaken far more than I overtook) but everyone was unfailingly polite and grateful if you made room.
Big up to you all - a great event run in a great atmosphere.
