As is traditional we'll have a wee run out on Saturday, just to give youse an appetite for dinner & fizzy drinks
The run leaves from the hotel carpark at 09.30 sharp. You'll be expected to have a full tank (cos there's very few opportunities to fill up where we're going !) & an empty bladder before setting off. There's fuel not 100m from the hotel so youse have no excuse
And, as per the small print on the site, you attend any UKGSer event at your own risk
Which brings us to the most important part of the run - to ensure we don't leave anyone behind & so that everyone can ride at their own pace we will be using the "drop-off system". I always thought this was a fairly easy thing for an adult to grasp but after people fcuking up the Donegal run for their fellow riders by not doing what they were supposed to do I'm putting up this synopsis (stolen from the BMW Club). If, after reading it, you're in any way unsure please come & talk to me or Geraldine or Brian beforehand
"At any junction or deviation, the ride-out leader will signal to the rider immediately behind them to pull in to direct the following riders from a safe and conspicuous position. For reasons of safety one rider and only one rider should stop at each junction. Provided it is safe to do so, that rider should then re-join the ride-out immediately in front of the back-marker"
And DON'T MOVE until the back-marker gets to you
Simples....
This year, for your additional entertainment, we'll be stopping at Kilgarvan Motor Museum for morning coffee, scone & a wee look around. If you're doing the Irish Photo Rally the Kerry point is only 15 minutes away from here so you'd have time to run over, grab it & come back before we leave
See ya all Friday
