ziggy, add me to the list.
I'll be tramping down on Friday from Glasgow but heading to Stafford on Sunday so will be looking for a scenic route to there if anyone has any ideas.

I know Glasgow well, that's a canny old run down to here.. You could try one of these routes, they keep you off m'ways and round the outside of the town centres etc..

Sorry to do this at such short notice but i have to drop out, to cut a long story short I am skint the bike is out of tax and insurance, I am in the middle of moving and I am supposed to be doing a road rally on the saturday night which i have also had to pull out of. I will be there in the van friday evening to deliver the picnic bench and visit you all but unfortunately just have no way to make the ride out. Really sorry to be missing it. sorry i havent replied to your pm Al been trying to see if i can work out a way round it and there is just no way i can do it

[Miztaziggy]

Really dropping like flies now

Have we now run out of people that know the route to lead?

[AMCQ46]

Murray, don't worry about it, not much you can do when you are skint

Will be good to catch up on Friday night, but I will be there late as won't set off till after work

Good point Chris, need to make sure flatline knows the route!

Got a few volunteers for back mark duties with Steve97 and CheekyKev as well as Adyf, so as long as there is a leader then we can run 2 groups. If not we can go back to a single group as we always used to, so there is no worries.

We will work something out on Friday night and Saturday morning

[Flatline]

I'll be ok

I'll go lead or rear gunner, I'm easy but I'll be on the old faithful FireBlade coz the Firestorm is still broke not had chance to get to it with going away and one or two other things going on at the moment.
I might be going down early Friday morning to meet up with MJONESY so we can go and collect the Bench, If anyone wants to tag along for the ride let me know

[Jamoi]

Just ordered one of these http://bit.ly/19av7MJ

It's a helmet side mount for GoPro, should get some good footage now

Does anyone else regularly film road riding? I've only tried it for around a mile once. Are there any reasons not to film legal riding on the road?

Weather is looking better as the days approach. Info taken from a paragliding weather site & has not let me down as yet.

Forecast for Saturday at present:

Ride down to meet us at Aust

That sounds like a plan

Let me look into sorting a route

just checking to see if you are still coming down to meet me and Jamie at Aust on Friday, or are we stopping there for a stretch as we will not be waiting for George or Neil and then back on our way to the campsite?

Well I will still be going down on Thursday night with my brother, and was still planning on riding down to Aust as long as the weather is fine.

PM me your mobile number bazza and ill send you a text on Friday morning to let you know we are setting off.

I'm sure we'll all be fine sorting it out not so many roads really, great routes though.. Any way, if we catch you up from group 2 we can all help each other
