Absolutely brilliant day gents, I want to thank you all for the very welcoming and Christmaslike atmosphere. I'm not even going to mention what I got from each Santa individually, suffice it to say that I learnt shed-loads, looking forward to next ride-out to put it into practice.
I'd also like to thank all for the banter, erm no sorry,
erudite observations, which make for such a light and fun touch, especially when one is extricating oneself from the mud. Invaluable!
Finally, aside from technical riding stuff or whatever, I'd like to say this, which I think I'm entitled to, from the scope of the newcomer:
Top-notch ambassadorial skills, you're all diplomats and gentlemen, huge pat on back, well-deserved! If all the TRF is like that we could probably win seats in Parliament, certainly a lot more likeable than some of the current incumbents.
Merry Christmas and a Fantastic New Year's Riding to All.
