not me

There is a CRF250L only owners ride in Wales organised by TRF, but doubt I'll get to that either

Last year my bro and I were sat at a crossroads deep in a forest somewhere, contemplating which way to go from there.

Riders began arriving from every direction, usually soaked having ridden through very deep water.

A big conversation starts...man did you see how deep that water was, lots of nodding...How come you guys are dry...didn't you go through the water.

What water.

Which way did you come.

That way.

We came through the water that way, how did you avoid it.

I've no idea, I haven't a clue where I've been or where I'm going.

It was a brilliant weekend


I'm booked in again, am planning on using the DT once more, although that might be subject to change yet.

Steve, I may end up asking you for a little favour if that's possible.

In my haste I forgot to tick the 'Receive Updates' box on the entry form. I don't expect it will be a problem but if it becomes necessary, would it be possible for you to forward any updates you get onto me?

I expect once I've supplied individual names for their own logins they will get the updates anyway and it won't be a problem from that point.

I have my login but haven't filled those bits in as I may change bikes yet...not that that matters really.

Once the other riders logins are sorted they will get the updates anyway. I'm not expecting it to be a problem but I'll give you a shout if I may.

Just a reminder for any lurkers..... the Taffy is only open to trail bikes. Ie drz,Crf250l,Ttr250,dr350 etc. No entry for enduro models.

and I've heard there are only about 40 tickets left

Been wanting to go to this with a mate for a while, just waiting until I have enough room to have a dual sport in the shed. Would love to see some pictures from the event

C90s are also welcome as are big bikes, circa KTM 690s and GS1200s

I'll be on the DT (unless something changes in the meantime) and my bro will be on his DRZ

Cheers Steve but I think I'm all good. At the 'logging in' for team members stage.

Everyone has a login and has put in their t-shirt and bike details. Good to go hopefully

So just a few days to go. Bike fettled, Discovery & Caravan sorted, time to get the food and drink in, pack a few bits and jobs a good 'un.

Lets hope the weather holds....see you there

Top event this year with perfect, very unwelsh, weather.

The DT got me through another despite holing a rad hose and flattening the rad spigot completely flat in the very first lane!!!

Chopped the hose, wiggled a screwdriver up the rad outlet, tweaked and teased it to a round(ish) shape, hooked the now shortened hose back up, filled it up with bottled water and did the rest of the event and the sunday ride outs no problems at all

I've just sold it too, I wonder if I'll regret that decision...ho hum.

What to get next....
