So can I ask those that are still coming to confirm, and those who didn't know about it to have a look in your diary and see if you can make time for some of the best kept secret biking roads in the uk.
I can't wait for this :)

When are you riding up Alistair?

I guess it will be similar to last year and we will meet somewhere on the Friday and ride up the same route, through the Dales and up the A6?

Oh, just a thought, we will have to go steady this time as Ady will be with us slowing us down :lol: :lol:

Not much dogging action on a bike is there :(

Will start working some more details this week and work out what time I meet Chris and Ady in settle, then we can work out an ETA for Dumfries.

So who else is in?

Macdee, you still planning on the trip over the water?

Niel?

Geodude - i guess it is a long way on a DRZ400! so I will assume your out
GreenEyedGeco - are you sure you don't want to come, don't get put off by the boasting about speed, we will be waiting for Ady :lol:
BigVeeGrin - you up for a long riding weekend? you can stop over at my house thursday night if you want … its not far from Lloydies, but I try to avoid admitting that
lingy67 - you still thinking about going?

Well, he can't reach it when it's in his leathers, can he? So he should be able to ride ok.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Great stuff, I just logged in to check on this thread myself and post something like this.

Looks like it might be a good turn out this year :)

IMO as long as weather holds, it's the best meet of the year with the quality of the roads.

Here's hoping I dont get another puncture and blow my fork seals pulling wheelies again this year, especially as I made same mistake of booking a track day 2 days after I get back.
