MRM Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 1081 registered and I know of at least 80 tipping up from RBLR that have not registered.With good weather I would hazard a guess at close on 1500 on the day.Hope to see some of you there and put some faces to names. Spot on... We have organised a few smaller events over the years and some peeps are fickle and wait to see what way the wind is blowing etc. So a half decent day will bring em out I am sure......... plus its a worthwile cause....... See you there & ride safeMRM Quote
