August 23, 200620 yr Where is the best place to go drinking on the Saturday night Cubby? Nice to see someone getting their priorities in the right order
August 23, 200620 yr Pretty much any of the pubs around town. The Outback is good, C'est La Vie has former 80's page 3 model Debbie Ashby has the landlady, and uually draws a few in. Later on most people hit either Colours, which is at the hilton Hotel, you can't miss it, or Paramount City nightclub. Clubs are open until 3.30pm in the IOM, but have a strict door policy of no one in after 1am. If you mis it you miss out. On Sunday night after the presentation we will mostly be heading to Colours That is if you can take it.

I can confidently say my drinking is better than my riding! :) Cheers for the tips. C'est La Vie it is.
August 23, 200620 yr What number are you? Will you get a lie in on either day?? And what the hell happened to my typing!!!??!
August 28, 200619 yr Author I was no 2. So I had a lie in on the Sunday morning. Didn't finish though. 7 sections from the end the gear box packed up on my Montesa. Absolutely gutted! Great trial again though, will be back again next year. Just need to come up with some way of making the ferry crossing a bit cheaper. When you pay all that money, and travel all that way and you can't finish the trial it feels s##t. Never mind only another 364 days to go. We didn't make it to Cest La Vie or Colours, we were camping at Hillberry near Onchan and spent most of the weekend arguing about who was going to drive!
August 28, 200619 yr Great weekend, had a respectable ride on Saturday. Had a bit of a mare on Sunday as I smashed my wheel in to a step with a bit of a bang, and destroyed one of the bearings (nowt to do with weight, must have been a dodgy bearing ). Three 5's until I got back to the van to change the wheel. Threw the chain off and launched me back off a waterfall in to a stream. Then next two hours riding flat out to catch up. Want to enter for next year right now Got beat by a girly Well done Katy - she was riding like a demon.
August 28, 200619 yr Collie won it on about 13 Thorpe 2nd on about 17 Jeremy Darlington won the clubman route on 32 Katy Sunter 7th and top lady rider Robin Luscombe and Les Ashby first sidecar Morewoods retired with buggered suspension on Sunday
