DrAlf’s Spirited Whales Ride – Easter 2014.

Is this trip all road or is there some off road. I'm a lot shite at off road.

Cooky
 
Yep all on road with a mix of fast A roads, challenging B roads and a few 'white' roads - i.e. gravel strewn with grass growing through the centre:)
 
Fantastic.:beerjug:I'll be out and about Saturday, if you want to meet up somewhere?

Spannering session booked for Saturday morning, local blast on Saturday afternoon and possibly heading to the Ace with Miss Alf on Sunday morning. You are more than welcome to head up and join in or meet you on Sunday morning:)

Will keep you posted, if I end up in your neck of the woods Saturday pm.:thumb
 
Not long to go now and I’m getting pretty excited by the prospect of hooning around Whales. Had my first trip across the border on Saturday for a warm up blast and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Outstanding roads and I didn’t even get to the really good bits:)

Current attendees as follows:

  1. Alf
  2. LazerKid
  3. Malton
  4. Nutty
  5. Bouncer - Last Man - Ta:)
  6. Cooky
  7. Sweeny Todd
  8. Adventuredon
  9. Richie P
Hopefully I haven’t missed anyone off!

Got a few 'maybes' too.

Hotel still has some rooms available so if you’d like to come along get a room booked pronto.

I’ll be emailing out to those attending later in the week with meet up instructions and route details.

Gonna be good:thumb
