Gents,
Works being f***in @***holes..... having to fly down on the Thursday from Glasgow, so can't bring the bike down all the way down.
I'm not going to get to meet up with you lot on the way up on Friday.... P#sed off.
Will have to meet up with you there. As soon as I get times I will see if there is any way I can meet up with you somewhere, depending on your times.

thats a bit crap mate!, so whats your plan friday? do you have to do the meeting then fly back to Glasgow?

worst comes to the worst we will meet you in kirkcudbright and save you a pitch for the tent

[grumpyfrog]

Yip, having to fly back up there. just sorting out getting my bike down to there this week so save me having another trip north to get it then heading back down.

Just checking the luggage and tent on the bike



And an added bonus is that there will be nobody in my house in kirkcudbright on the Saturday night, so if the weather is not good for camping we can go indoors on the 2nd night

Looking good Al, I bet you're glad you did the flat bar conversion now

Hmm.... I'll be interested in seeing that myself on Saturday! I'm thinking it could be the next thing to do to my own bike..

[mattster]

Let me know what your plans are for the Saturday morning - what time you're leaving Dumfriesshire etc...

Depending on the time, we'll either meet you in Ayr, or else we'll come south a bit to meet you on the way up.

Cheers,
Matt

Matt,
I will send you my mobile number by PM so we can update arrangements right up to the saturday morning. but my plan is to leave Kirkcudbright between 9 and 9.30 heading for Ayr, so we would expect to be with you lot by 10.30.........if you want to head towards Dalry, we can meet in Patna or Dalmellington

if you are trying to contact me on the day of the ride, as I have a bluetooth intercom system, you can call me when I am riding and I can talk to you. by doing that we can make sulre we dont miss each other.

I have to say the flat bars are great for all kinds of riding.........from pottering round lanes to knee down scratching

Any news on your final plans? will you be heading up from Stafford, or down from tayside [or the Airport?]

Ziggy, you got an eta for Settle yet?

[Miztaziggy]

Ziggy, you got an eta for Settle yet?

Not yet, but I think it'll be after my meeting if I am honest.

That means leaving Bradford as soon as I can, getting back to the office, dropping off the files, going home, picking up the bike and then setting off up to Settle. One bit of good news is the investment manager that was supposed to be at the meeting is on holiday so it'll just be me, the designer and the lessee, so I can make it fairly quick as long as the contractor doesn't do a sh1t job.

Basically, I think i'll be away for 2pm, 2.30pm at the latest. Back to the office in 40 mins, home 15 minutes after that, changed and away 20 minutes after that and in Settle 1 hour after that. Bottom line is ill be in Settle for 4.15pm - 4.45pm latest.

[AMCQ46]

Cheers Chris.........still waiting of Grumpyfrog to confirm his schedule, but I will plan to be in Settle for 4.30 and work it from there.

I still have your mobile [ends in ...799?] do you have mine?
