As you gus know its that time of year for the Barnardo's Toy Run in Reading, I have sorted out the lids for tomorrow and the santa suits. the weather is looking good for a change, oh and santa's sack is full.! so to speak.
Here is a pic from last year.
Nice one Mr P, enjoyed last toy run video, so let hope you get plenty pic's of this years run..
liking the sige mate..
The day kicked off very cold with ice all around, we waited till about 12.00 noon before we set off also giving the sun a chance to melt the ice, the main roads were caked in salt.
we arrived at the meeting place about 12.30 to find it jammed packed with bikes, I have never seen it so busy, it must have been the sun bringing out the all in sndre....
it took ages for everyone to get out of the carpark, Im waiting on the figures posted by the organisers.
I met up with JP, Finn, Moneypenny, Woody,Bella. there were loads of ppl saying hello but forgive me cos I don't know who you are.
here are some pics, My battery went on the camera.

nice one Mr P, great to see a good turn out for a good cause
Hope yer took more than that, been thinkin' about this since yer mentioned it.
Had a great time yesterday, forgot to take the camera though so no photos from me either. We do have photos of his lordship bike all tarted up for the occasion, before we left.
It was great to met up with Mr Pie, JP Woody and Bella again.
Unfortunately I didn't take the 125, I think the battery may have gone on it (not used enough that is the problem) and we didn't have enough time to investigate the problem on Sunday morning.
Mmmm, you always seem to forget your camera MP, you'll have to use some string and hang it round your neck..
Cause we ended up in a rush out of the door the fact I remembered the presents is a miracle. I remembered the camera after I had got on the back of the bike and there was no way I was getting off again to to go and get it, especially as all the neighbours had come out to see us off.
There is an art to getting on and off a bike with side panniers and a top box on, unfortunately I still haven't learnt it and tend to opt for the fall to the side manuover to get off it.
