A lovely day, really nice to meet some familiar CC names in the flesh and get to know others better, and a big thanks to @User for organising the get-together.
Oh, and @hopless500 wet my blanket.

Or Cardiff, Cheltenham, Swindon, anywhere really where a good few of us could get to.[/QUOTE]
Do it. The best bit of yesterday is that it wasn't about the bikes, it was about people who swap stories and banter within the anonymity of an internet forum getting together and getting to know each other for real.
Everyone I met for the first time in Cambridge was warmer, funnier and more approachable than I could have wished.

Organise it, people will come, and be grateful that you took charge so they didn't have to.

That looked a great day. I would rather have been with all of you than getting myself from Copenhagen to Blacburn.

That would be nice.... This weekend I couldn't have gone to Cambridge due to other plans!

I'm delighted you all had a good time, and the weather was fine for you. I'm sorry I wasn't there but I'm afraid I had to work, I will do my best to be at the next one.

@Fab Foodie did you take shopper?

 

[Lullabelle]

We didn't crawl into bed until about 3am so not sure why we are both awake

Brilliant photo's - fitting tribute to Vernon, you all did him proud.

 

[Levo-Lon]

Well, that was a day and a half! It was fantastic to meet everyone, and a big thank you to everyone who travelled so far to be there.

The weather was glorious and I couldn't think of a better way of whiling away a few hours: good food, good wine, good company... and some eye candy in adjoining groups. @hopless500 and I have a similar taste in men!

I'm up for Leicester, Oxford or Norway next year

Mr R is delighted with his pink gin....

Leicester Oxford Norway..sounds like an upmarket trotters independent trading slogan.. @User

Yellow eyebrow-raised face thing.

A man of his reputation? A toilet escort?

Good thing it's not still the 1980s.

 

[Crackle]

This is all very well but I didn't see a pie count.

 

[Crackle]

No pies were eaten. No booze was drunk.

Hmmmmm..........

Too many to count
