Well, I shan't be coming after all. Fortunately I didn't book a room as I had a feeling I wouldn't be able to swerve work on the Friday. At least I saved myself the £50 non refundable deposit. Oh well, maybe next year. Have fun everybody.

Awesome Steve, yep 10 am sharp full tank empty bladder :)

I'll be running in a demo 12 RT so will be going a bit steadier than normal unless someone else wants to take the lead reins, having said that a lot of the planned route is scenic rather than quick so hopefully everyone will enjoy it?

Right ..... I managed at the last minute to find a sacrificial virgin to get the weather God to shine on us and it seems he's being good to his end of the bargain providing some rain on Friday to wash that nasty salt away and sunshine on Saturday for the ride out :D
