I did see that many of the dates in May clash with meets from other forums, The People Popular Front have one on the first weekend after the Bank Holiday, which is the weekend we always use. I don't think that running two meets at the same time is fair on those who might want to go to both.

Also, isn't the Lakes getting a bit stale for people? I live here, and I make no secret that it IS the best place in the world to be, to ride, to live and to return home to. But others may think differently, and we should always respect the wants and wishes of others.

Here's my challenge to you all :

Find a place to hold a "Lakes VII - on tour" meet, organise a site and set a date.

On a personal note, I have a new job and it's demanding lots of time, coupled with will to get back out on the road, properly on the road (crossing water and speaking differently), I need to explore new places, meet new people and this is going to take it's toll on my available leave. Where? Dunno yet it's a work in progress.

In the words of Damien Blade - Ride hard or stay home, oh and lose the watches
