TC Jixerman (deffo) + 1 (maybe)SuzilewGin ? Any more takers??? Those of you coming on bikes, if you want me to get alcohol for you, please can you let me know what and how much!
megawatt Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 Can you remind me of your plans for the weekend Sue and Ian. I am planning to arrive at Gills on Friday afternoon and leave late Sunday or early Monday morning. I haven't ridden in North Wales for over 20 years , so am hoping to get plenty of riding in??? as well as some serious socialising on Saturday night
Susieque Posted April 24, 2012 Author Posted April 24, 2012 Plans are really pretty flexible & relaxed really Mega - apart from the main social on the Saturday night We've invited other friends to that. I will do a meal for everyone on Saturday & Sunday teatime (or dinner time as I call it!) and will do bacon rolls on Sunday & Monday mornings.No planned rideout as such, that'll be up to those that are here & what anyone fancies doing. There are several Challenge Tags within fairly easy reach and there is club racing on at Tonfanau on the Sunday if anyone fancies it! I guess much will depend on how hung over people are!! All we ask is that people head home after midday ish on the Monday as Rennie will need some kip before work on Monday night!!
Jixerman Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 WE................will be on my new bike as long as I can get some luggage for the bike and bike gear sorted for the missus sorted quick sharp

Susieque Posted April 29, 2012 Author Posted April 29, 2012 Yes Cat - we're working on where to park everyone's bikes but it'll definitely be hardstanding!

Susieque Posted April 29, 2012 Author Posted April 29, 2012 We're looking forward to the weekend too, but getting increasingly concerned about getting the garden sorted for camping - grass needs cutting badly & it hasn't stopped raing for a week!!!
rennie Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 I very much doubt I'll be riding anywhere! Megawatt's coming FRi by earlier arrangement.It's open house from Sat noon.I have no idea where we're going to park all the bikesbut we should be able to cram them in somewhere It really needs to stop raining or you'll be camping in 3ft high wet grassand dog shit
megawatt Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 If we can make a space for my little tent on Friday, I,ll do the rest on Saturday morning?
Susieque Posted May 1, 2012 Author Posted May 1, 2012 Well you'll be pleased to know that the grass now resembles more of a lawn than a hay meadow, minus the dog poo too!!
TC Posted May 1, 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 No dog poo is good Just need the weather now.Can you pm me your postcode please Sue.No rideout for me I'm afraid. I have to go somewhere for a couple of hours on Sunday afternoon
