I'll update this post with fuel & wee stops as I've yet to factor them in.

 

Looks good, now let's hope for a dry day as we have had enough rain this year already

 

@Muffking ....

I'll meet you at Blyton Park Gary if you can scoop me up from there.
Fingers crossed for a sunny Autumn day

 

I'll hook up with you all at Brewers Fayre weather permitting

 

The weather's looking a bit ropey guys. What do you reckon?

 

It's not looking good, it's given rain most of the day at my end
Wet roads + lots of leaves

 

Hmmmm - forecast does look pretty grim at the moment

 

Yes, shame it wasn't last Sunday, that was glorious weather, oh well that's uk for ya

 

Try for next weekend , I won’t be working then

 

Unfortunately that was the problem we discussed before making this thread, I'm working in Liverpool that weekend.
I only have the last weekend in October or the the last 3 in November free. I'm free all of December though

 

Well seems weather is turning crap, time to put my bike away and do more mountain biking hate motorbiking in the rain but strangely I do like muddy mounting biking

 

Getting muddy mountain biking is one of the best things ever .......
Although the older you get, you do have to glance around before you shout Feck yeah.......wheeeeeeeeee

 

well looks like a warm mid October weekend coming up (18th) seems we booked the wrong day still Mountain bike was fun

 

Mine's been sorn'd since September 1st, although the track bike could make an appearance any time

 

Sorn'd since Sept 1st, so was it going to be track bike for Octobers Scarborough bash then?

 

No ços if the road bike has no tax then neither does the track bike

The plan was to tax the road bike on October 1st then sorn it again some time after.

 

Lot a fannying about for the sake of 40 odd quid road tax

That's blokes for you I guess

 

40? When did you last tax yours. It's £85 now
Although it was more about the fact that it ran out on Aug 31st and I've not been out on the bike since, so there's been no need to tax it.

 

Ahh...but they only charge Repsol owners £40 as the bikes so fast it barely skims the tarmac...therefore less money required to go into maintenance
