who's welcome?

ive got a couple of emails off people asking if they are welcome on modern bikes

well - yes.... theres no style police on the run. but old bikes are absolutely PREFERRED...

if you come on a modern bike you wont catch any crap off me [well only light heartedly] - i had to do it on my modern sporty last year after i broke down on the way to the pre-night shindig.

be aware you are on a run with old bikes & we roll SLOW and stop for fuel OFTEN, if you want to go fast, well thats fine, print off and read your map and go as fast as you like, we'll see you at the bar and you can have a pint waiting for us. we have ridden mainly as a single group in previous years which is a pretty nice way to travel, but its no worries if you want to break off - there are no rules / regulations

Tipple Route '11

route for the run this year - pubs / campsites confirmed everythings a GO

pre-run

from the mouth of this yours route planner extraordinaire...

"Here's a flavour of what some of this year's run will look like. We had to use modern bikes for the pre-run because of lack of time this weekend, but all the roads will be cool on crappy old rigids too."

as far as im concerned it looks a damn fine route with some lovely roads to explore - im looking forwards to it whoever turns up

moving along

things are moving along quietly in the background

routes been partially run and 2 sites found so far

its looking like it will be the same start as last year in Devises - nice campsite, good beer, decent facilities - all adds up to a win
