2014 off road farce

[milesaway]

anyone who is potentially up for this years off road farce in the land of sheep after the season make themselves known on here or to me
(nb I DO NOT DO FACE BOOK!!)

hope to get it underway bit earlier this year in case of weather- like to know anyone who may come with their own road legal bike or anyone who would like to hire a bike to get an idea of numbers and level of interest

(ps ANDY BLOMFIELD'S card is marked and he is banned from going within 6' of their bikes again- they are still collecting up bits of the last 1 every time they go out- better bring your mountain bike mate)

Hope to get my XR250 after the DD racing at Croft is out of the way, then I need to do a few miles (no pun intended) on it and if all's OK and I can make the date I'll certainly be interested. Will have to try and get Dallas along on his KTM

[coppersaucepipe]

I could be up for a hire bike, dates/finances allowing.

[Bimjob]

I'm def interested. Will be bringing my own crf250. I will put the word out on Facebook and try to relay it between here and there

[badgerpilot]

I've put a post on facebook with a clip last years outing.

[vespa]

I am in with my gasgas, depending on date: better at weekend.

How does mon 29 Oct sound to anyone???

talked to steve yesterday- he can do up to 10 people in a group and despite everything last year will have us back
prices still the same
weekdays easiest on availability- if we need weekend date we best get one booked quick as they fill up a long way ahead
£190 with hire bike and b&b all in
£40 on own bike plus £20 b&b if required

[vespa]

any chance of a WE date?

Should have my XR250 by then, will have to check what Leave I have left as it will probably mean taking Monday and Tuesday off

[Bimjob]

I can do the 29th but a weekend would be better by the sounds of it

[badgerpilot]

Sounds impossible, 29th October is a Wednesday.
Monday 20th or Wednesday 29th October would be good for me fella.

[coppersaucepipe]

Clocks change on the morning of the 26th October. But I guess everyone will be knackered by 4pm anyway.

[milesaway]

for same reasons as last time it seems to be slipping away into future a bit- 1 day earlier than last time- this seems to be first date all can do that is available- i hope we are as lucky with weather this time as we were last year

confirmed so far-

on hire bikes- andy b, scott, matt, mykie

on own bikes- haydon, nicki, alan ball, vespa, jim, me,

if you're not on here yet, want to be and can make it let me know asap

about 10 is the max in 1 group without degenerating into total chaos, but it is possible to run 2 groups if it grows too big

have talked to steve- the date is booked now for FRI 21 NOV- will want get some small deposits from all to give him

All on hire bikes have b&b included in riders flat- anyone else who wants b&b can book at pub across road at £25pp- sleeping in van in yard ok if that's your choice and not worried about cold

we quite a big group this time so should have 2 instructor/ guides and will probably split into 2 groups for some of the day so as not to end up too spread out and end up waiting for/ looking for people lost/ left behind etc etc
we should all meet up at lunch and be able to swap a bit between groups if it all seems to easy or too hard in your group

pub across road does food for thu eve till about 9ish so if your going be really late may be best grab something on your way
