It's gonna cost me a few quid just to get there, so hopefully you won't all drop out?

If its really bad, then at least meet up for a chin wag if your local-ish?

I'll be there as long as it isn't to bad. I'm so nervous of going out in the wet, don't know why, but I'm so slow haha. I'm hoping the sun will come out, if it doesn't then cloud is ok, just no rain or other stuff galling from the sky. Don't mind a quick shower, but dont have good waterproofs lol.

See this is what happens when you get your bikes re-sprayed. You could always take a towel and some wax to play with. :lol:

There's plenty to see in Tamworth and environs if it turns out bad guys. We could go up to "The Raven"

Thanks Clive :thumbup:

I have updated the 1st post but in short

I have proposed an extra two routes just in case we have to cut it short due to time/weather etc.

Also

Lead rider: AMCQ46
Back Marker: Me

We will be adopting the 2nd rider drop off marking system so please familiarise yourselves with it. Feel free to ask any questions. We'll remind you on the day too :thumbup:

The 1st and 2nd posts in that thread are important so please take the time to read. 8)

Indeed. The weather girl's dress was far too long, and she didn't smile properly at the end.
Poor show, poor show all round....
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
