Are we going for a 05.30hrs start?
Greg
Guys, more seriously.....
I'm all up for getting a bunch of us there on Friday morning so we can get an extra day's riding in ... but where are we going to ride? Has anyone got any marked-up maps of the area?

From the hotel website
"On Sunday after another excellent breakfast, you are free to plan and ride your own routes or you can ride on 600 acres of private land (which has a 10 mile enduro track) until the afternoon, when it's back to the hotel to enable you to load your machines and clean up for your journey home."
Perhaps we can play on this Friday ?

Firstly, don't put maps on this thread - you know they just confuse the Squadron Leader!
Secondly, answer a few of those e-mails you have open!!

Good initiative!
I was planning to take:
I normally carry this lot in my ruck-sack, but we can leave the duplicated items in the van for backup.

I think I'd better get a few bits for my bike...will order a spare brake & clutch lever and inner tubes tomorrow...anything else I should have?

Unless you particularly want them, you don't need to buy inner tubes - there will be enough to go around.

Thanks Greg - if there's anything else that is a 'must have' let me know please.
Things not mentioned that I usually carry - First aid kit, cable ties, duct tape, "tow rope". I keep meaning to track down a spare chain link.
I'll have chain lube and WD40 in the van.
Nadeem - take a look at http://www.trf.org.uk/thingstotake.php

OK guys,

KTM 520
Greg Masters
Clive
Riverking
Roy (Blue Sweeper)
Roy's mate
Steve Hartshorne
Charlie Batty
Nadeem
Johnny Boxer
mr Tickle
Me.
The hotel details are:
The Lion Royal Hotel
West Street
Rhayader
Powys LD6 5AB
Tel: 01597 810202
Contact: Mary Powell
www.lionroyal.co.uk
KTM Dave & Greg are travelling together, as are Nadeem, mr Tickle & me. We are planning on leaving very early on the Friday morning, so that we can get there in time for a little off-road 'exploring' before retiring to the hotel bar/restaurant for the evening. If anyone else is planning on going early, I suggest that we meet at the hotel around lunchtime. This will give us time to check-in and get our bike gear on, and then have a bimble about.
Looking forward to it already
