Looking at tomorrows weather the lanes should be interesting
Paul.

Will plan routes to suit,but If it's wet the hill at tilton needs to on the list ,just to see if anyone can get to the top

Mikeyboy, what time can we start arriving Fri?
Why? because I have a brain the size of a walnut so it takes me hours to erect me tent and I don't want to do it in the dark.

Sunday, only need to be home in time for the Rugby, so will help clean up.

Hi Tufty, Have sent you a PM.

Wouldn't bother much before 4 ,as that's the time I will be meeting the cricket club fella,I guess the gate may be locked till he arrives,
Will post up after I have spoken to him this week

==Pie Run News==

We now have a TEC and someone to help me navigate the early part of the route.

The Pie Run has a green light.

Arkwright has declined the TEC job on account of last year he got lost, got ahead of the group, did the whole route in front of us and culminated in a 'Dancing on Oil' performance not far from his house which necessitated the fitting of a new engine crash bar! Can't say I blame him.

Please try to have a reasonably full tank of petrol and empty panniers for your pies.

Hi Mike
Sorry to say it's not looking good for me attending the latest of your well organised and always enjoyed "rallies". Demands of the job look to be getting in the way so at this stage it's best you remove me from the attendees list and put me on the will come at the last minute if at all possible.

I'll update you nearer the time.....

Morning All
Should be able to join you guys from Friday planning to ride over on the KTM (freeride) and join the mudpluggers on Saturday.

Is Ian riding his in flight re-fueling machine to top up those with slightly less juice on board compared to his 10 gallon tank? I'll have 7.5 litres available so may have to cut short on the ride out! but we shall see.

 

[mikeyboy]

What sort of range will the 350 do ?

Nope, my bike has undertook a few changes of late, only got 9 litres on board now so approx 130 miles

Don't worry we do have a plan in place, when we do our reccy on Friday hopefully we can confirm the garage at Tilton is still trading.

Be great to see you mate

 

[mikeyboy]

You just have to rub it in don't you

 

[mikeyboy]

Truth is, the reason your xchallenge is so frugal is cos you ride it like a faggot

 

[Magnon]

Hi Mike
5.5 litres in the tank which should do 65/75 miles depending on the going, then i've got 2 x 1 litres fuel bottles one on the front and the other on the rear mudguard. Don't limit your day based on my fuel range but 90 miles should be doable. Is there scope for a top-up on route you've planned

That will be fine,my bike won't do 90 on a tank so will be planning a fuel stop somewhere,
Will know tommorrow as we are checking some previously unexplored lanes South of Melton

My WR only has a rang of about 80 miles & I'll be topping up at Colsterworth on the way in so she'll already be less than full before we start.

Why you offering Tufty

Going home

Anybody else think this is too many for one group and is any body confident enough to lead a group if i Mark your map up?
You would need Maps 233, 246 and 247

Me and mike are doing a reccy on Friday at about 11am if a volunteer leader is available.
