I have a pass!
Because of the fuel range I will probably be on the red 80, but will make final decision on Friday when I have seen the weather. X Country only has about 120 miles absolute fuel range.

If it helps there is a petrol station about 50 yards from the Ragged Apron café where the planned lunch stop is.

Good point.
Garage just over the road from the Ragged Apron.
Couldn`t have planned it better myself. He,He

The Green lane ride will be 80 miles. There are limited opportunities for coffee stops, so I would recommended you bring a drink and snack with you. There is a lunch stop en route.
If you have the route from last time that’s it’s pretty well it. However one of the lanes is closed on the way back to Melton and I’ve added an extra lane with a proper water crossing. Quite a few of the single track roads are covered in mud and are very slippy.
It will be a full days ride so it would be good to get away by 10 if poss.
If anyone wants the route drop me a PM with your email address.

Weather forecast is looking glorious for this Comrades.
Take care everyone and stay safe.
2 rings when you get home please.

Hi All,

Sorry this is last minute but the decision has not been taken easily.
As some of you may know I was knocked off my bike last year and have been on a sidecar since April. My recovery has gone well with a few up and downs, well this week has gone down both in terms of physical and mental health so I have made the decision not to attend.
If things improve today and tonight then I will try and make the breakfast meet, if not I’ll try and make it at a later date.

Have a great weekend

Cheers

Dave

No worries Waggy, hope you're feeling better soon.

It'll be good to see you even if it's just for the day.

I hope you do come, even if just a gentle pootle out to breakfast. From personal experience it will do you the world of good.

I'm coming over in the morning, possibly with tent, that depends on if Anna is better when I leave.

That looks like a lot of fun. Gutted to have missed it.
