None of us have a clue how to do this …

Right chaps....##

As there seems a few who have a slight problem..

meet up at the countess service area...as there are about 32 bikes coming along room will be tight so be kind to others please..

The meet up time is FROM 8.30am to DEPART From 9.30am as this is a very big group and things need organising on the day which aint easy and safety issues need addressing..

This meet is a general "learning curve" for "trail riding" Nubbies so need more time explaining things out on the trails etc..we dont want accidents..

This aint a jolly ride across the plain to see the tanks..if thats what you want fine but we aint doing thats..

Glad to see someones camping ...

For pj and the big bikes a rough route..

I'm going to be coming on this one and I feel on my road tyres, it's very much weather dependant.

As Peejay said, hopefully it'll be a hot hot hot day

This is the 08:30 RV right?

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=51.1785 ... gl=uk&z=17

According to google maps that'll take me 2hrs 9 minutes, I don't like to rush so I'll be setting off at 05:30 to allow for a fag break or two.

If I get there for 08:30 will that give me time to get a breakfast at the Little Thief or should I get their earlier for that, there was mention of safety briefs etc.


'thinks to self' safety briefs? reinforced pants?? :laugh:
