Rally of Discovery

[Jockser]

As many of you will already know the bould Gunner runs an event called the Rally of Discovery which is a navigation rally (on-road & off-road) over a couple of days for bikes of all shapes & sizes.

This year it's being run on 5th to 8th Sept (this weekend !) out of Lisdoonvarna where the Batchelor Festival will also be in full swing (if ya want a rich 'Merkin widow or a local wan with land)

I have it on good authority that due to a couple of oversees cancellations there might be a place or two available. But hurry, time's short
Contact Gunner for more information

See youse all in Lisdoon on Friday

Heading to Jockgrim, near Karlsruhe for the Hinterstadlfest with this motley crue.

hinterradfest .....

my only German comes from Ebay
and Vorrad i think means front and hinterad is rear or back
so by my powers of deduction ie "Rear end feast"

so drink and be merry at the rear end feast

and safe traveling

She's not bothered. Too busy enjoying herself

Still, a thought, it gives us two weeks to say what we like without any comeback from her

Enjoy the discovery

I'm away to Italy 2morrow on the bike for 2 weeks so ye can say what ye like.
Must escape the rain.

 

[(RIP) petcul]

OK. So what happened???????????????????

 

[(RIP) philgunn]

just passing by Discovery End and Dancing in the street

Re the discovery
we got 2 fine days of sunshine and no one got hurt

here are a few images

and at the end in Kilfenora we had a bit of jiving
I hope this comes out







Much more to come

OK. So what happened???????????????????

Wouldn't you like to know

After rain "of biblical proportions", as the Big Bollix is wont to say (and this time he was right) on Friday, we had the best day of the 'summer' on Saturday, a cloudier but still dry Sunday & another great day today. Fabulous weekend, I'd strongly recommend everyone does one.

Huge thanks to Gunner & Famous (and their band of merry men) for all the organising to make the event the success it was
And thanks to ShortArse & McIvor (for the help) & Daithi (for the hinderance !) in locating some of the clues.

Pictures & more news tomorrow

PS: Gerry, enjoy the trip
