OK cheers thanks- will check out these and get in touch again if job comes off! 😀

yeah i do think having others around gives me a bit more confidence…
was at aston H yesterday with the intention of sessioning a few DH runs, but after only 20mins i hit a bad line and face-planted big time onto a log. thankfully the full face helmet did its job otherwise i'd have a hefty dentist bill….
knocked the stuffing out of me and twisted the neck a bit. hand too painful to grip properly after so my ride over straight away! boo….
it was pretty sketchy there, just dry enough to be loose and powdery but showers also gave nice greasy surface beneath!
its kind of weird sitting there seeing stars sat on your own by the trail.
i was most definitely over-stretching my ability so next time i'll deffo go a lot easier.

+1 for london eye if not done before, you can also wander down the riverfront past royal festival hall etc, maybe then across bridge to wander through covent garden piazza for cafes.

isnt the main point of ASLs to position the bike in front so that vehicles behind have a clear view of the bike?
ie stops a big truck from left hooking you cos he hasnt seen you at the side going straight on?

I understand that you can scoff as much as you like at kfc/MCd/Bk,
PROVIDED THAT you also order a Diet Coke.
the latter apparently neutralises all harmful elements of the food.
