Sounds good. I look forward to that. Some things are better shared. Wish I had a fast forward button.

The signed-up list is looking pretty healthy today!

Look forward to putting names to faces and testing out my gear... Oh and putting the bike through its paces!

Can't wait!

...and even more so today. I'm getting a little concerned that I haven't got enough stickers being made up!

:team[1]:

What a terrible problem to have. Looked like about 18 XTs in the last big meet. We may well beat that looking at the numbers on the list. Those welsh mountains are stunning

The road through the mountains just south of our campsite. If this doesn't convince you of going to Wales, then what will...

Hey,I don't see any road in that picture- I don't want to scratch my bike or get it dirty...

Lol

D.

Its there if you look carefully at the bottom on the right (with farmhouse). Yes it can be this steep. Just be glad you have that 660!

Of course Keith.

I'm going over to Ireland end of next week and then when I come back I intend to spend a couple of days back at Llanfairfechan and sort a rideout.
Been a bit busy recently as had a spin over to Santander from Portsmouth, then along the Pyrenees to Andorra, then up through France and back through Calais to home! 2000K miles and didn't miss a beat! Hotelling it, will not do that again :tard:. Rain all the way back through France to Blightey. Left the group just North of Paris as one could not keep up on a Rocket 3! Amateur!..........and made my own way home. We had planned another night and a ferry crossing back through Zeebruger but I'd had enough of bad navigation and toooooooooooo slow!

Will make arrangements with Sam at the site when I see her as I'm meeting up at the bunkhouse with a bunch from South Wales on the Thursday evening before we get the ferry over to Ireland on the Friday morning

Hope this clarifies things and hope to see all you guys there.

PS I'll check the beer as well.:occasion14:

Are we planning on doing much off tarmac riding?

I'm in two minds as to whether or not I should change my Michelin Siracs for something a bit more off-road bias.

Hi Arn. I cannot be sure at the moment, but bearing in mind that the weather has been a bit dry lately even if we can get off the beaten track I think you will be OK on road tyres. I will be having a go at a rideout 27th / 28th so will have a good idea of conditions under tyres so to speak. Remember this is the National Park and I think it will be difficult to find true off road tracks, but I'll try:YellowWow_KKPB92:

I will however try to find a quite nadgery / challenging route to keep you guys on your toes and get in some spectacular scenery.

Whilst I'm typing I think it will be a good idea if any of the attendees have an idea of problems that they need to discuss or servicing problems that they might like to address.
I for one am more than prepared to give a demonstration of how to remove the back tyre, for instance!:laughing1:

Simple things like oil level check, chain tension. Might sound simple but some of the guys still are not quite sure and it will be a good opportunity to address these issues.

How to make up a relay for auxiliary power, how to change break pads.

Just a few ideas.

See you guys soon. Cheers Steve
