YES,
Friday Night CLIVE has worked out a route, NICE and EASY about 6/10 in difficulty ( Clive please correct me if I`m wrong ) and it will be fine for PILLIONS also, Clive did post a thread, READ IT.
Saturday 10.00ish
Bill (FANUM) FORD`s RUN, this is for anybody with web feet.
OFF ROAD Beginners ONLY PLEASE with Steptoe, this is most important as it will be only be good for BEGINNERS.
OFF ROAD, For the rest is lead by PAUL STURGESS (60)
30 years a solo SALISBURY PLAIN rider, with Clive at the SWEEPER at the rear.
This route will be taking you on a wonderfull 80 mile loop, last half to take in SALISBURY PLAIN.
PLEASE PLEASE RUN WITH THIS as last year I had 30 with Steptoe and 2 with Paul, very embarising for me.
Off roading GS TIPS dump your luggage in your tent, not to much bikeing gear.

I know it's probably been asked before...... but please tell me the off road leaders will be on a GS too and not some pogo stick on steroids 
No, I think Paul might be too old for a GSbut please tell me the off road leaders will be on a GS too and not some pogo stick on steroids
he has a Yam 400 IIRC - don't worry I'll be at the back (on a GS) and will help pick up your bike

That was TIM FRENCH that abused you !
Geko, Paul is 60, and riders real slow sat down, and hes got a dodgie knee, from kicking over his 650 Husurburg in his socks.
You`ll be fine

One more for Paul and Clives ride please.
You don`t have to book just find them on the day
Steve, my lovely little crusty bun, I'm going to be asking to limit the participants on the fords run.......I'll get a thread up about it in the next few days, but with the small amount of space, parking on roads and the nature of the fords, I'd rather not have more than 14-15 on the run.
I'll speak to a few prime candidates to run a second fords run, same as the first but backwards if there are enough who want to do it, but more than 15 gets slow, and more than 30 (as recently) gets silly (and potentially dangerous
)
