Saddlebags

I think you mean he can lead the rideout

........I can help plan the route

......Hi there, Gin, any chance you & SB could get along to the Gate and Greedy Goose to have a look at them......just to get 2nd opinion. I reckon the Gate would be good - better than the Greedy Goose as it's a bit more isolated (Greedy Goose is on A44 just N of Chipping Norton). To get to Gate from where you are, go into Banbury, up past Tesco etc. to big roundabout then take B4035 to Shipston.......turn left just after S.Tadmarton follow signs to waterfowl sanctuary....when you get to X roads with white house, turn right follow signs to Hook Norton. Gate Hangs High is just by turn for Hook Norton on right hand side of road. If you want to speak to the boss, ask for Ali and tell him you know Jan the fireman and that it's about the bike rally. He will know what you're on about. If you just wanna go incognito, also fine....

Just to get a balanced view, you understand........

Gate hangs high is a nice pub, regularly do bike nights (if still under the same management).

Greedy goose ive been past but never been in. I'm happy to got for a pint and have a look though

I guess the campsite is not full yet then

No and he still has electric hook up spots to. Seemed like a nice bloke.

Is there still fancy dress happening on the Saturday night?

Just booked myself and [mention]tsurugi-ijin[/mention] in. Woo!

I'm bailing too I'm afraid. Went for a long ride yesterday and my forks leaking like crazy today. Hope the weather holds for you all.

I'm up for this, see ya Sunday
