Dunc,

Like last week I think it will be a decision at the last moment - the forecast is for the showers.
After todays downpour anything could happen !
Fingers crossed for 7pm at Aust.

Yet again another great evening ride by the Gloucester Monsters. (All two of us) Brilliant timing by Herbie who arrived at the Chepstow junction just as we did. Only 2 Ducatis (not Monsters) turned up at the Wye Knot Inn,but after a pleasant evening we headed home rather briskly. Duncan and I topped the evening off with a full bore assault over the old 7 Bridge - a lane each and an empty bridge - we must have touched 70mph at one point!

You may have noticed I was trying to do the Wye Valley without braking on the way back hence the very smooth progression in the dark and damp conditions. There must have been rain while we were in the pub as it seemed a bit damp.
Severn Bridge was great and soooooooo quiet, the peace only shattered by 2 Monsters being allowed to breathe fire.
As soon as you peeled off at Aust, the heavens opened and I got soaked.

Great night out though and just to think we could have been sat at home moaning about the weather. :) :) :) :) :) :)
