All aboard the Eurotunnel, or maybe not - bad weather and a range of excuses meant only 6 bikes and 8 hardy souls braved the heavy rain and cold.
Keeping off the main roads we formed a GS Convoy snaking through the French countryside. Visibility was poor. Heavy rain and a lot of spray. The roads were pretty slippery (I will use that excuse later).
Despite having a pre-planned route, road closures caused some confusion and the detour took us down some very small and muddy roads.
A bit too much front brake entering Le Touquet was my contribution to entertaining everyone. Steve had the best view, being right behind and will no doubt be happy to elaborate. David must have wondered what on earth was happening as he heard me lock up and then slide alongside and finally roll over.
I was impressed with the quality of SW Motech crashbars. Pretty Strong!
Not so strong are sidepanels, indicators, mirrors, screen, pannier lid, trousers, gloves and helmet visor!
Nadeem thinking about downsizing ? Team Honda were there in numbers!
Sunday, and the Enduro race. Nadeem was in charge of the Beer money, and also tried to start a new fashion in head wear. Not to be outdone, Pete followed suit, while Dave was a man on a mission determined to get to the beach in time to see the race ...
Finally some shots of the Race (the rain decided to stop eventually and the sun even came out for a while) ...
