Easter Euro GS Rally 2012

[Cogs]

Has anyone signed up for the Easter Belgian Rally yet?

I've had details from Migsel.

It's a back-to-basics, none catered affair back at Ronse (not sure if it's on the same site as 2008 or not?)

Cheap as chips/frites at Eu 25, Friday - Monday

Michel has translated the announcement of the Easter rally for us:

Programme: Friday: pitch your tent
Saturday: offroad ride-out
Sunday: offroad ride-out

[jackassdave]

dont think i can make it this year either,as its the wifes birthday and were going away,shame ive been to the last three ,and they usually a good affair ,especially last years,was great oh well 2013 roll on

Have been every year since 2007.

Ronse was the venue in 2008 and we had snow to add to the excitement.

Normally go with jackass dave and Mark71 but neither are up for it this year as they want to spend more time with their wives.

I divorced mine 3 years ago so no problem for me.

If you are going Garry let me know as otherwise I will be Billynomates this year.

 

[jackassdave]

I'm going to this with a couple of mates from work. Never been before so looking forward to it. Ferry from Hull Thursday, arrive ronse Friday.

Anyone know what the ride outs are like?

 

[MiGSel]

I have heard that there will be some road rides too.

Otherwise it will all be very basic, in the proper GS spirit

Judging by the Belgium mud 2 years ago if you want to do the off roading I would advise putting on proper off road tyres. The guys who tried last time on road tyres mostly had to give up. I used TKC80's and was so glad I did after doing around 200 miles off road in loads of mud.
I'm sure you'll be fine on the road rides.
