    Re: National meet Itinerary

    I really fancy the idea but I'm not sure I'd get away with it, just been to Wales, Rykas tomorrow, the National for four days, Ubley Drove in October.

    I have to be Stormforce's by 11 at the latest on Sunday too.

    I think I may just have to imagine myself being there.

    It's really is no kind of life, is it Chris? I s'pose we just have to live with whatever life deals us.

    See you there.

    Re: National meet Itinerary

    Is anyone doing any offroad routes at the National? I want to take my R1150GS offroad for the first time and I'll my brand new TKC80s on too but I have only limited offroading experience so don't want to do anything too challenging, or where I'd have to spend too much time trying to pick my bike up

    That's the plan. You and I could always go and try them on Thursday afternoon. There are a few very short tracks.

    Stormy, I'm in for the Saturday run, would have liked to have done the Friday run into Plymouth, but won't be getting there till Friday evening.

    The Versys is an excellent road bike and great for back lanes and B-roads, but Michelin Road Pilots aren't at all suitable for muddy bits, regardless of what Mudwiz will say

    Put me down for both of these please.

    Depending on numbers hopefully a couple of others will organise other rideouts..

    My 2 rideouts will be TARMAC ONLY - with frequent stops for coffee / photos.

    These rides will be limited to a maximum 20 bikes (using Drop-Off System) - otherwise it becomes unmanageable on the road.

    Re: National meet Itinerary

    Hi GUYS spoke to young stormforce about routes and the amount of riders we have attending. So I volunteered a nice little route 6 possibly 7 hours 250 km I called it lunch at Lynton or the pup just east of it, basicaly leaving Princetown east moving up to Exmore national park over the moor to Lynton west to Biddiford and the twisties home. The route can be modified if the time is getting on say leaving Princetown 0930hrs. Let me now so were not fuddling around on Saturday J
