I was the only rider in my area, so when I went on rides, I'd really jsut tag along, but I got along with a number of people, Jonny Jones, SAMWELL and a few others I met a load of times in Reading, Oxford and Portsmouth. Some of the other guys in Portsmouth I got along with and used to ride the Hampshire comps with a fair amount, but nothing more as they were all older. Now there are number of people on this forum I talk to, Jon Mack, Charlie, Callum to name but a few, who I'd consider mates. Most of 'em I've never met, but Charlie was kind enough to put me up for the night and sneak me into the latest SM 'meet'. (where I remained incredibly hungover and quiet the entire night...)
