With having not ridden the plains before I like the sound of Bakes group is it doable on the 950 SE
Bakes what do you have in store for us

If you need a bed about 1 hour from the RV let me know.......there will be a few of us leaving from this area.
David, that's very kind of you (I'm sure I have a bottle of something for the saturday night
). I may well take you up on that offer, I reckon it's a 3 hour drive from here and it's sure to be cold. I have an inflatable matress and a sleeping bag if you have floor space near a radiator

No need for the airbed - we have a sofa bed and duvet or sleeping bag available if you need it.
Let me know - we are happy to help.

That sounds like an offer too good to miss, count me in sir. You are a gentleman

Everything there is do'able on a 950 so it depends on how you ride it.
Me, I'm going with Paul.

Looks like I'm gonna have cold feet on the way home
Then again judging by my previous efforts, it may be a cold head and my feet will stay dry

Can you put me down for the intermediate group please...
Just a suggestion but can the list be annotated to show who's in which group
Will there be scope on the day for people to change groups if needed?

I think I will be intermediate but could go either way depending on the following factors:
Hangover from previous day
Amount of weight gained during Xmas
Discovering just how unfit I am
Discovering I am in fact an off-road god

I rode most of the day behind Paul when he guided the Hogroast ride in 07, he knows the place like the back of his hand and was happy to stop every time we wanted to lark about and take photos.
We experienced all the Plain offers and I loved the section that was like riding a rollercoaster with every dip being filled with water.
Gravel, mud, water and grass, Pauls ride suited me on an 1150 and will be perfect for the Basic.
Steve's ride with smaller faster stuff, HP2's etc will be fantastic but maybe a bit too quick for my old Airhead.
I'm guessing Clive's ride will suit those who want a slightly easier day out and perhaps suit better the bikes on Tourances.
ps. Just cos have a XC or HP2 etc doesn't mean you have to go in the fast and furious group, go where you feel you will have the best day.
