Re: Lincoln - Carpe/CMC meet
doh, sorry mate i knew i should have posted it up here
i'm guessing its gonna be a yearly thing...
Stormy was there too, but on his TDM
there are a few guys on Carpe who have TRXs as sunny day toys
meself & hutch did nearly 450miles yesterday, i ache luck a bassid today
that would have been a short day for the TDM but i'm just not used to spending that long on the TRX
next weekend is 'Snowjoke V', its a CMC(commuters motorcycle club)/Carpe boys weekend away in Wales
i'll put a post up in the UK section
