You know I usually accompany Nigel on all the bike rides I can but this one clashed with an important craft-buying day. I promise that next year, if it clashes again, I shall RTTW instead, I really wish I could have been there. Great report Ian, I’m sorry I had to miss it!

RTTW 2010 will be in our diary for next year. I'm sure the turnout of GoldWing clubs can only increase as the word is spread about the event. Bob Ian

In times such of these where the wars we are fighting are not popular we must always remember our Armed Forces do not get a choice in where they go, they follow their orders to the "t" so therefore we must Salute their bravery and also remember the ones who lose their lives and pay our respect to their memories and to their families. Bikers often get an unfair press, this is the one day we can gather collectively and say we do care, those people fighting could be our fathers, husbands, brothers or sons, mothers, wives, sisters or daughters, yes we really do care. Well done to Martin and his helpers for the well organised event And you know even though we saw quite a few harleys being pushed at the end of the run, their riders are a pretty decent group and we were more than happy and proud to ride by their sides!
