Great to see more bm folk doing this again this year.   Thanks to Drobess for riding home with me to make sure I made it safely.   And last but not least the star of BM must be our very own MOONSTONE who so bravely rode this ride on her 125 on L's congratulations moonstone it was fantastic to see you on your bike.

WOW what an event I had an awesome time. I am still buzzing with me riding my bike in it and  it wasn't too daunting either. Apart from managing to get lost how did I manage to lose a 7 mile long trail of bikes when i was in the middle of um! Dont ask only I could do that, Well and Cata too cos he followed me LOL. We found you in the end though thank goodness!   I have added a few piccies but never got chance to use it much on the ride.                                                                                                                                                                                 

I dont know ow u managed 2 get lost either moon, woz it only u n cata that went the wrong way or did ya lead the rest of the riders behind u the wrong way as well                                                                                                                                                                             

I would have given anything for that piccie BJ lol..

I didn't realise that you and Cata actually got lost....well done again!!!!!
                                                                                                                                                                             

I too enjoyed Ryans Ride and was particularly impressed with Moonstone's confidence with her bike which improved throughout the weekend. This proved to be invaluable when negotiating our way back through the one-way system after being sent in the wrong direction by a 'gentleman' in bike gear apparently posing as a marshal. I should have sussed him since he wasn't wearing a marshal's vest but we weren't the only being taken in. At least Moonstone was able to get back on track. After all that, the ride back to Redditch was a doddle. Congratulations to the organisers and the real marshals for doing such a brilliant job in making the event run so smoothly.

Good grief!
